Safety is an essential element of working or pleasure activity on the water, whether at sea or on an inland waterway. Nobody wants to be in a situation where they have urgent need of an emergency rescue.
Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) Safety Bulletins replace Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) technical safety alerts. Safety Bulletins are now published to highlight safety issues that were previously issued as technical safety alerts. Also, safety bulletins will include any other safety issues that arise.
