On a passenger vessel a technical failure becomes a commercial incident straight away, sometimes a safety event. What cruise and fast-craft operations demand of maintenance.

An expired licence or a non-compliant rest pattern, and the ship does not sail. How to turn crew planning into a reliable system rather than a spreadsheet at risk.

One expired certificate is enough to stop a trip. This guide sets out what a fishing vessel under the Moroccan flag has to carry — safety certificates, fishing licence, crew competencies, catch traceability — and the texts behind them, checked against two independent sources wherever possible. It includes two working tables: the ship's document file, and a twelve-month renewal calendar.

Adopted on 27 June 2025, resolution MSC.581(110) revokes A.1050(27) and recasts the recommendations for enclosed space entry. Two new documents become expected on board: an Enclosed Space Register and a dedicated emergency response plan. This guide sets out the broadened definitions, the atmospheric thresholds, the gas detection equipment required and the update to your safety management system.

Tight turnarounds, zero tolerance for cancellation and safety of life make passenger vessel maintenance a balancing act played out in windows of a few minutes, under SOLAS, the ISM Code and the IMO FAL Convention. Task splitting, sailing-critical equipment, FAL Form 6 lists and counting persons on board, crew handover and the KPIs that matter.

Short trips, small crews, extreme corrosion, critical winches and refrigeration: fishing demands a maintenance approach of its own. Priority equipment, a PMS built around real downtime, long-lead spares, vessel certificates and crew licences, and what the Cape Town Agreement changes in 2027.
