Cayman-specific legal duties, Shipping Notice guidance and REG Yacht Code controls, with private evidence records and Vorenico technical review.
HOW THE MEMBER REGISTER WORKS
Four steps to a review-ready vessel dossier
Choose only your vessel's registered flag. The crew records what can be demonstrated; Vorenico assesses the relevant evidence and identifies outstanding actions.
01
Describe the vessel
Vessel name, commercial or private status, length, GT, year and applicable certificate/code.
02
Choose a status
Evidence supplied, action needed, not checked yet, or not applicable with a clear reason.
03
Reference proof
Enter a logbook page, inspection date, laboratory report ID, maintenance record or corrective action. This field is text only; documents are shared separately.
04
Save and export
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”.
OFFICIAL CAYMAN SOURCES · 28 OCTOBER 2026
National rules, not imported UK assumptions.
The Cayman MLC Food and Catering Regulations exclude pleasure vessels. REG Yacht Code duties and Cayman notice guidance also vary by vessel class, certified operation and issued exemptions. Confirm applicability before treating an item as law.
Prepared evidence is not flag approval
Statuses are self-reported. Vorenico can review technical evidence, not issue a statutory Cayman certificate or decide legal scope without the complete vessel file.
Duty applies only if the national Regulations cover the yacht. Conditional applies only under the relevant certificate/code. Guidance is good practice. Review means Cayman Registry / class applicability must be established.

CY01
Scope and vessel classification
Applicability
Review
The 2014 Food and Catering Regulations exclude pleasure vessels; commercial/MLC applicability must be established individually. Private yachts may voluntarily follow REG standards and carry differing statements.
When in scope: Confirm Cayman register, private/commercial use, MLC status, certification and exemptions before testing other items
Evidence requested: Registry certificate, Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance (if any), charter status, yacht-code certificate and RO correspondence.
Provide drinking water suitable in quantity and quality for the crew, voyage and duration, free of anything likely to cause sickness or render water unpalatable.
When in scope: Where Food and Catering Regulations apply
Evidence requested: Capacity and consumption assessment, analysis results, source records and corrective-action programme.
Document complaint escalation and steps taken if drinking water is found unfit; stop use and replace affected water as legally required for the circumstances.
When in scope: Where Food and Catering Regulations apply
Evidence requested: Incident procedure, complaint route, communications and corrective-action closure.
Use appropriately marked potable-water hoses, secure clean storage, drain/cap after use and flush to waste before loading; guard fill points against cross-connection.
When in scope: CISN Annex 2 §2 recommendations
Evidence requested: Bunkering and hose logs, hose photos, connection drawings and source checks.
Develop a source-to-tap Fresh Water Safety Plan, especially for complex systems: source assessment, hazards, control measures, monitoring and corrective actions.
When in scope: CISN Annex 2 risk-based recommendation
Evidence requested: Current Fresh Water Safety Plan, hazards/control matrix, monitoring plan and review sign-off.
Assess primary disinfection bypass prevention, failure alarms, safe diversion/stop, and alarm-power independence; validate operating safeguards for the actual installation.
When in scope: CISN Annex 2 technical guidance; check applied system and administration acceptance
Evidence requested: P&ID, test protocol, alarm test records, service logs and approval correspondence.
The notice describes 0.2 mg/L free chlorine or 1.0 mg/L chloramine at bunkering as good practice; it expressly does not require routine chlorine addition in all cases. Do not classify it as a mandatory universal limit.
When in scope: CISN Annex 2: not a blanket duty to chlorinate
Evidence requested: Selected treatment rationale, control targets, test methods and readings.
UV lacks a distribution residual; electro-silver has conditions; other treatments require evidence for safety, effectiveness and acceptance where applicable. Do not treat a cited chemical as blanket permission for any branded product.
When in scope: Treatment-specific risk review; technology approval is not automatic
Evidence requested: Equipment specifications, validation, water chemistry, calibration and CISR/RO acceptance.
Assess seawater intake pollution and discharge proximity; operate RO or distillation under documented instructions with suitable filtration, online quality monitoring and rapid response to off-spec water.
When in scope: CISN Annex 2 technical recommendations
Evidence requested: Intake risk map, product conductivity logs, alarm/diversion records and operator instructions.
Assess desalinated-water mineral balance, aggressive/corrosive properties and taste before transfer to storage; use appropriate stabilisation where required.
When in scope: CISN Annex 2 recommendation
Evidence requested: Water analysis, material compatibility, remineralisation design and trend records.
The notice recommends normally at least two days of storage, adjusted only for reliable water production, plus accessible potable-labelled tanks and rotation to prevent stagnation. This is not automatically a universal law for all yachts.
When in scope: CISN Annex 2; specific binding accommodation rules must be checked separately
Evidence requested: Tank survey, actual capacity, headcount, endurance calculation, watermaker availability and rotation log.
Maintain and inspect tanks, hoses, calorifiers, pumps, filters and fixtures to approved vessel schedules and manufacturer instructions; record actions and verification.
When in scope: CISN Annex 2 §7 recommendations, not all stand-alone statutory intervals
Evidence requested: Maintenance programme, completed work orders, cleaning records and retests.
Yacht Code potable-water outlets and emergency reserve
Yacht Code
Conditional
Provide convenient drinking-water outlets and an emergency reserve of at least 2 litres per relevant person according to the applicable chapter and certified headcount.
When in scope: Where REG Yacht Code Part A applies as adopted by Cayman; correct chapter depends on GT
Evidence requested: Yacht Code certificate, class survey, outlets map, reserve inventory and persons certified.
An older crew-accommodation notice specifies water outlets, two days tank reserve and automatic disinfection of produced water. Cayman RO instructions indicate the notice was to be amended to disapply to yachts: verify the actual instrument and transition/certification before asserting a duty.
When in scope: Do NOT apply the 2-day tank/automatic disinfection clauses to every Cayman yacht without checking current Cayman instructions
Evidence requested: CISR written clarification, applicable DMLC Part I, vessel certificate, date and class assessment.
For REG Code yachts, confirm applicable equivalences, RO review of fresh-water systems, and any additional acceptance conditions; do not infer that a generic REG rule establishes individual flag approval.
When in scope: CISR guidance and vessel-specific approval
Editorial review 28 October 2026. Official registry conditions, national notice changes, Yacht Code corrigenda and exemptions must be checked on the real yacht. Separate Cayman and UK registers must never be combined as if they had identical legal scope.
