How It Works
Initial Consultation - Step 1:
We look at your vessel size, class (4B or 5), and current operating procedures to determine your exact legal deadlines and paperwork gaps.
SMS Customization & Prep - Step 2:
We build or adapt your SMS manual, ensuring all emergency checklists, maintenance logging, and environmental policies meet the latest Transport Canada guidelines.
Equipment & Registry - Step 3:
Our team handles the technical administrative side: tonnage measurements, vessel registration, and programming your safety electronics (MMSI & EPIRB).
On-Board Implementation - Step 4:
We complete a voluntary SVCP audit on your vessel, deliver your completed SMS binder, and ensure your crew knows exactly how to pass a random Transport Canada inspection.
