MGN 416 (M): Inspection, survey and certification guidance for United Kingdom Small Commercial Vessels operating in foreign waters
As the certificates issued by the MCA to Small Commercial Vessels (those under 24 metres Load Line length) are not issued under the provisions of the international maritime conventions, foreign Port State Authorities are not obliged to accept them. This Notice recommends discussing the issue with the PSAs in advance of SCVs arriving in their waters, and provides further guidance to avoid difficulties.
