The Boat Safety Scheme has been created to minimise the risks of fires or explosions on boats cruising the UK's inland waterways network, by specifying a set of requirements that most boats must meet before they can be granted a navigation licence. 

The Scheme also recommends a number of 'safety best practice' measures which enhance the personal health and safety of those on board privately owned boats.

Cox's Qualified to Examine Your Boat

The BSS examination is required once every four years and must be carried out by a registered Boat Safety Scheme examiner. At Cox's we were one of the first boatyards to offer this service in Norfolk and now have several years experience undertaking these examinations and dealing with the governing bodies.

Aspects of the examination include the gas system, storage area, ventilation, fuel tank and system, battery storage and electrics and fire exstinguisher and blanket.

  Either here or at your moorings...

If your boat needs its Safety Certificate, we'll be pleased to undertake the necessary examination. Although most examinations take place at our boat yards, we are always happy to travel out to your boat wherever it is moored.

If you have any questions about the Boat Safety Scheme or wish to book your boat in for its test, please do not hesitate to contact us, we'll be pleased to hear from you.
