Services
From uncertainty to a clear plan of action.
MARPOL requirements can be difficult to translate into day-to-day leisure-marine operations. We turn the relevant rules, local context and operational practices into practical next steps.
02 / PLAN
Action plans
A prioritised, workable route to improve procedures, staff awareness, contractor controls and supporting evidence.
03 / ANNUAL SUPPORT
Ongoing assurance
Annual reviews and updated guidance to help maintain standards as operations, locations or requirements change.
Our approach
Built around your operation — not a generic shipping checklist.
Leisure marine has its own realities: mixed users, contractor activity, wash-down areas, maintenance operations, marina infrastructure and vessels of widely differing sizes.
- Operational wash-water and cleaning-product controls
- Garbage-management procedures, signage and awareness
- Facilities, contractor arrangements and practical records
- Risk-based priorities aligned to the organisation’s role
Important: Global MARPOL Compliance provides independent guidance and assessment support. Any readiness statement or certificate is based on a defined assessment scope and does not replace statutory surveys, flag-state decisions, port-state control or legal advice.

Initial consultations
Start with a conversation about your operation.
Whether you operate a marina, manage a boatyard, run a charter fleet or represent a marine association, an initial conversation will establish the most useful scope for a review.
