In 1996 all of the main inland waterways and rivers in the UK introduced the Boat Safety Scheme - BSS, where all boats have to be examined every 4 years to ensure that they remain safe.
It's like an MOT for boats but it doesn't check the tyres!

I am one of around 200 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.

A return visit, if required, is normally free unless the boat is more than a hours travel from TW12 2HA.
