Compliance management that fits your operation
Three tiers of service — from essential tracking to fully managed, proactive compliance. Choose the level of cover that's right for your vessel and your operation.
The foundation tier. We build and maintain your vessel's compliance register, track every expiry date, and alert you well ahead of time — so you're always in control and never caught out.

- Initial vessel compliance audit
- Full safety equipment register
- Certificate tracking & record keeping
- 90-day advance expiry alerts

Everything in Monitor, plus we handle the coordination. When something needs doing — a service is due, a certificate needs renewing — we don't just flag it and leave it with you. We contact the supplier, arrange the work, and confirm it's been completed.

MCS provides compliance management and coordination services. We track, alert, coordinate, and support — but we do not hold statutory authority and do not replace the legal obligations of the Vessel Owner or Master.
Ultimate statutory responsibility remains with the Vessel Owner / Master at all times. MCS acts as a coordination and management partner. All regulatory compliance obligations under applicable maritime legislation remain the responsibility of the operator.
