M Notices
M Notices
The Marine Safety Agency (MSA) publishes M-Notices, which are then sent out to vessels.
There are three different types:
- Merchant Shipping Notice (MSN's) - contain technical details of regulations that apply to merchant ships
- Marine Guidance Notice (MGN's) - provides guidance and recommendations on best practice and interpretation of law, as well as general safety advice
- Marine Information Notes (MIN's) - provides less important, time-limited information
Certificate Replacement
Certificate Replacement
At the Nav School we are able to issue replacement certificates for all our STCW courses; Seafish Courses; Efficient Deckhand; and Approved Engine Courses.
If you've lost an RYA issued certificate, information on how to replace can be found on our RYA Training page.
Each replacement certificate will cost £10. If your certificate fails to arrive or contains an error, then please let us know within one month of the course, and it will be replaced free of charge
To arrange for a replacement:
T: 01856 569401
Or just pop by the office and leave your details.
It is important to keep your certificates safe; consider making a photographic copy.
