Setting Up Vessel Manning Requirements

A Manning Scheme is a minimum number of crew required for basic safety as stipulated by the Flag State Authority pursuant to the current manning regulations in force at any given time. Using this feature you can view or update applicable minimum safe manning and the validity of this 'MSM'. This is very important information as you can then easily view if the vessel is complying with the MSM and can then apply for a special authorization certificate from flag state authority in case of discrepancies.
