Condition Surveys & Pre-Purchase Surveys
The MLC Yachting approach to Technical Inspection and Pre-Purchase is easy, witness Operational Testing and evaluate the status of the yacht in real conditions.
The documentation used combined to experience, will provide to the Owner and Captain an updated status of the yacht, list of defects and/or recommendation which can be then used for future refit specifications or simply to confirm the conditions of the asset.
The 'In house' inspection and evaluation is further developed, during the pre-purchase surveys, with the involvement of 'Manufacturer's Technicians ' for Main and Auxiliary Systems, Marine Electricians, NDT experts and Paint Surveyors for a full and detailed assessment of the yacht conditions.
It is personal experience to advise on Technical Inspection to be performed regularly at least once per year, prior the preliminary phase of routine maintenance Yard Periods and most important prior Special Class Surveys, where specific scope of works will need to be evaluated .

Yacht Maritime Compliance
As yacht dimensions have expanded, the imperative of implementing rules and regulations for safe operation has become essential for Flag States and Classification societies. Regulations such as MLC 2006, Solas, Marpol, and Large Yacht codes have been formulated to establish national and international standards for construction, operation, and management.
Consequently, this has added a significant workload for yacht operations, onboard personnel, and owners alike.
The complexity of compliance necessitates structured organization and clear understanding to prevent unexpected surprises. MLC Yachting recognizes this need and has developed a fully customized system to provide robust support to our clients.
Drawing on our extensive knowledge and experience in the yachting industry and maritime compliance, MLC Yachting has tailored a fleet management tool.
This tool effectively structures and monitors onboard compliance for both on-board and office personnel.
