Frequently Asked Questions

What are the mandatory potable water testing requirements under MLC 2006?

Under the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006), shipowners must ensure that drinking and washing water is free from any organisms or chemicals that could cause sickness. Regular verification is required for both bunkered and produced water, covering parameters like E. coli, Coliforms, Enterococci, and disinfectant levels (Chlorine) to ensure the supply remains safe throughout storage and distribution.

Why is a Water Safety Plan (WSP) necessary for maritime vessels?

A Water Safety Plan (WSP) is a systematic approach to managing risks within the ship’s water system, from the source to the tap. It is widely advised that every vessel implements a WSP to monitor water quality fluctuations caused by tropical temperatures, stagnant piping, or cross-contamination. Digital testing tools facilitate this by providing accurate, repeatable data for WSP documentation and reporting.

How can vessels eliminate manual paperwork in water testing records?

Moving to a digital recording system allows for full traceability and audit readiness without the risk of human error associated with manual logs. By using cloud-based software to store test results, vessels can instantly generate reports for inspectors, proving that all parameterswhether Turbidity and Colour or Iron and Copper, meet international guidelines.
