Source-indexed control register for potable water safety, vessel evidence and professional Vorenico review. Apply UK rules to UK-flag yachts only; select a different register for other flag states.
Choose only your vessel's registered flag. The crew records what can be demonstrated; Vorenico assesses the relevant evidence and identifies outstanding actions.
Vessel name, commercial or private status, length, GT, year and applicable certificate/code.
Evidence supplied, action needed, not checked yet, or not applicable with a clear reason.
Enter a logbook page, inspection date, laboratory report ID, maintenance record or corrective action. This field is text only; documents are shared separately.
Save your draft, export the CSV and share that register and source documents with Vorenico for review.
Example: Weekly water inspection → Evidence supplied → “Inspection 26 Oct 2026; deck logbook p.84; responsible engineer: Chief Engineer”.
Document what the vessel does, identify missing proof and link each item to the Water Safety Plan. Applicability is not automatic: the operation, registration, applicable Yacht Code and transition arrangements must be checked by Vorenico.
An evidence preparation and technical review tool. A completed checklist does not mean statutory flag acceptance or legal compliance.
United Kingdom: checklist below. Cayman Islands: separate verified register. Isle of Man, Bermuda, Marshall Islands and Malta each have separate evidence registers. Select the correct flag from the navigation above. Applicable national rules and exemptions still require vessel-specific review.

Storage & distribution
The owner and master must ensure water is stored and handled according to applicable requirements; they must take account of Annex 2 guidance.
Scope: UK commercial / MLC in scope
Evidence requested: System drawings, tank registry, procedures, sanitation and maintenance programme.
Governance
Make food and drinking-water safety reports available to crew and safety committee on request, in English and a language the crew understands.
Scope: UK commercial / MLC in scope
Evidence requested: Crew briefings, controlled accessible procedures and report distribution.
Distribution
Provide cold drinking-water taps in the specified galleys, bars, pantries and applicable mess rooms.
Scope: Where MSN 1844 accommodation provisions apply
Evidence requested: General arrangement, outlet map and physical verification.
Capacity
Provide tanks with at least two days supply and sufficient overall capacity for crew, with water-production plants considered in the provision.
Scope: Where MSN 1844 accommodation provisions apply
Evidence requested: Tank capacities, daily use estimate, endurance calculation and reliability review.
Treatment
Water produced onboard must be treated using suitable automatic disinfection.
Scope: Where MSN 1844 §19.3 applies and water is produced onboard
Evidence requested: P&ID, dosing/control configuration, interlocks, commissioning and service records.
Distribution
Provide adequate fresh drinking water piped to convenient accommodation locations.
Scope: Where REG Yacht Code Part A §21.7 applies
Evidence requested: Water outlet location plan and onboard walkthrough.
Hot water
Install thermostatic anti-scalding valves and maintain hot-water temperatures in accordance with the applicable Administration requirements.
Scope: Where relevant REG Yacht Code Part A provisions apply
Evidence requested: Mixer valve records, temperature trend data and administration-specific limits.
Emergency preparedness
Carry a separate emergency drinking-water reserve of at least 2 litres per person as specified in the applicable Code.
Scope: Where relevant REG Yacht Code Part A §§21.7 / 21A.7 / 21B.11 apply
Evidence requested: Headcount, reserve litres, storage location, expiry and inventory checks.
Treatment
Watermakers and disinfection arrangements require acceptance by the competent Administration; check any conditions or alternative technology approval.
Scope: Where relevant REG Yacht Code Part A provisions apply
Evidence requested: Administration acceptance correspondence, approved drawings and equipment declarations.
Monitoring & records
Document weekly inspections under the master’s authority of water supplies, water-storage/handling spaces and relevant accommodation areas.
Scope: Where relevant REG Yacht Code Part A provisions apply
Evidence requested: Completed weekly records, defect list and closure evidence.
Bunkering
Use dedicated, identified potable-water hoses; keep them capped and clean; flush before loading and protect fill points from cross-connection.
Scope: MCA Annex 2 guidance; confirm on-vessel applicability
Evidence requested: Hose register, bunkering log, photos and crew instruction.
Treatment
Plan safeguards around automatic disinfection, bypass prevention, appropriate alarms and independent alarm power arrangements.
Scope: MCA Annex 2 guidance; assess design and equipment risk
Evidence requested: Schematic, alarm tests, periodic calibration and fail-safe demonstration.
Treatment
Assess suitable disinfection; Annex 2 describes 0.2 mg/L free chlorine or 1.0 mg/L chloramine as good practice during loading, not a mandatory universal threshold. Silver-stabilised peroxide is discussed; do not infer automatic approval of other formulations.
Scope: Good-practice guidance, NOT a universal legal chlorine limit
Evidence requested: Selected treatment rationale, product approvals, appropriate chemical tests and monitoring.
Production
Assess intake contamination risks, filtration, validated RO performance and rapid action on off-spec product. Consider remineralisation and corrosion.
Scope: MCA Annex 2 guidance for water-making plant
Evidence requested: Seawater intake assessment, salinity/conductivity trends, diversion logic and product-water data.
Storage & distribution
Check potable marking, tank rotation, segregation from sewage and non-potable lines, backflow, stagnation and dead legs.
Scope: MCA Annex 2 hygiene guidance
Evidence requested: Updated drawings, physical inspections and risk register.

WSP
Map source-to-tap hazards, control measures, monitoring and response actions in a maintained Fresh Water Safety Plan.
Scope: MCA recommends a FWSP especially for complex systems
Evidence requested: Current plan, system map, risk register, control matrix, review log.
