Regulatory Compliance Audit
Regulatory requirements for pleasure craft have evolved significantly in recent decades. From European directives on recreational craft (RCD 2013/53/EU) and ISO 9001/ISO 14000 standards to classification society rules (BV, RINA, Lloyd's Register, DNV), MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) codes for UK-flagged commercial vessels, and SOLAS standards for commercial yachts over 24 meters—the regulatory landscape is complex, technical, and subject to regular revision.
A Systematic and Documented Review
The compliance audit offered by Franck Gachet is a systematic, documented review of all regulatory aspects applicable to a specific vessel, taking into account its flag, intended use (private leisure, commercial charter, international delivery), tonnage, and area of operation. It identifies existing non-conformities, assesses them by level of criticality, and proposes a prioritized, costed plan to achieve compliance.
Who This Audit Is For
This service is particularly well-suited for owners planning to switch a vessel from private to commercial status, fleet managers wishing to mitigate regulatory risks, or buyers looking to verify a vessel's administrative and technical status before signing a purchase agreement.
