Boat Safety Scheme

Contact me at bss@raven.dj

In 1996 all of the main inland waterways and rivers in the UK adopted the Boat Safety Scheme - BSS, where all boats have to be examined every 4 years to ensure that they remain safe.

I am one of around 170 examiners, but unlike the majority of them I am not connected with a marina or marine engineering business and therefore I don't offer any remedial engineering work as part of the examination. This means that the owner can do any work himself, or choose his preferred engineer to effect any repairs, safe in the knowledge that the fault list has not been padded to increase revenue.
