MECAL provides independent inspection services in accordance with the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) requirements for eMISW (Marine Inspection for Small Workboats) and eCMID (Common Marine Inspection Document).
These inspections are widely recognised across the offshore energy, marine construction, subsea, offshore wind, and workboat sectors and are commonly required by charterers, operators, and project clients as part of vessel due diligence and acceptance processes.
MECAL undertakes IMCA eMISW inspections for small workboats and service craft operating in support of offshore, nearshore, and marine construction activities. Inspections assess the vessel’s condition, equipment, operational readiness, and management arrangements against IMCA guidance and recognised industry best practice.
eMISW inspections are typically required for:
We also carry out IMCA eCMID inspections for vessels operating in the offshore and subsea sectors, providing a structured and transparent assessment of vessel safety, compliance, and operational suitability.
If you require an IMCA eMISW or eCMID inspection, or wish to discuss how these inspections can be combined with statutory surveys or certification, please contact MECAL to discuss your requirements.
