The Boat Safety Scheme
The Boat Safety Scheme
British Waterways Scotland is committed to quality of service and all craft using the canals are required to comply with the Boat Safety Scheme, thus ensuring peace of mind for all users.
For craft on passage - up to 28 days - insurance details to confirm third party cover of £1 million will be required. Random inspection for gas and fuel leaks using a portable detector, and of visible electrical systems for signs of heat damage may also be carried out.
Those wishing to berth for longer periods are required to have their vessel examined by an approved British Waterways Examiner or Surveyor.
