Couple of questions..

A new south cat arrived at Dover yesterday ,,, he had onboard the new CoP that came out last week , he printed off the MCA website, I've trawleed the site and i'll be buggered , can't find it ,,,, Any pointers ?

What was intresting to read is that LIFERAFTS don't need to be serviced yearly now ,,,, only on the makers recommended service intervals..oh and carrying the extra man ......... 12 passengers and 3 crew.

Also, having had a phone call today from the HSE over dive boats carrying compressors..... bloody confusng this one is ,,, might see what the PBA has to advise on ...
" you can't advertise and sell air or other gas from your vessel, if you haven't got the nesseray - compressor insurance/ boat insurance / business insurance. " plus as the boat is a coded business, it needs a certifcate for selling air on display .....

When he went into tax & Vat , that blew my head to bits ,,,,,

Any thoughts or advice ?
