Are you compliant with the latest Workboat Code or working toward your Boatmasters’ Licence? ⚓🔥

Our 1-Day Fire Fighting course is specifically designed for crew on small commercial vessels (under 24m), including workboats and pilot boats. Rather than focus on breathing apparatus, this intensive day provides the practical skills you actually need: mastering fire extinguishers and operating fixed engine room systems.

This qualification is mandatory for:
✅ Boatmasters’ Licence (BML): Essential for inland and coastal operators.
✅ Workboat Code Edition 3: Required for all crew on vessels over 15m (and at least one crew member on vessels up to 15m).

Ensure your vessel and your crew stay on the right side of the regulations.

🗓 Date: Wednesday, 3rd June
