Cyprus MLC food and drinking-water requirements, documented inspections and ship-specific operational controls, with no invented fixed inspection interval.
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”.
Cyprus implements the MLC through Law 6(III)/2012. Sections 100–104 establish rights to suitable drinking water and frequently documented master-authorised inspections of potable supplies, storage and handling. Section 104 does not specify a seven-day cadence. Check the current DMLC, commercial/private status, seafarer definition and circulars before applying to the yacht.
This evidence register is a member self-assessment tool; a recorded Vorenico technical review is not a statutory flag-state clearance.
Duty: binding if relevant regulation applies. Conditional: only under stated code and circumstances. Best practice: prudent engineering control, not an independent statutory limit. Review: confirm with the administration or applicable code before claiming compliance.
