Luxembourg MLC drinking-water rights, master inspection at intervals not exceeding seven days and 2025 DMLC evidence requirements.
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”.
Luxembourg’s official DMLC Part I (Version 10, July 2025) expressly calls for inspection of drinking-water supplies and handling/storage at intervals no longer than seven days, carried out under the master’s authority together with a catering seafarer. Results must be recorded and available for review. Separate technical regulations for commercial craft under 24 metres have a narrower scope and an older publication date; never apply them automatically to larger superyachts.
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.

Applicability
Determine flag, ship type, private/commercial use, GT, persons, MLC applicability and DMLC status.
When in scope: Registered yacht or ship and actual MLC category
Evidence requested: Registration, charter documents, crew contracts and exemptions
Documentation
Use current DMLC Part I and vessel Part II; record any acknowledged exemptions or substantial equivalences.
When in scope: MLC certified ships
Evidence requested: Current DMLC I/II, ship certificate, approvals
Water supply
Ensure adequate drinking-water quantity and quality suited to seafarers, duration and voyage.
When in scope: Ships within national MLC / Luxembourg Maritime Act
Evidence requested: Crew water access, lab report, quantity estimate
Crew welfare
Confirm crew can access required drinking water, without fees inconsistent with applicable MLC obligations.
When in scope: MLC seafarers and applicable crew welfare terms
Evidence requested: Crew welfare policy and accommodation inspection
Inspections
Master or person under authority must inspect drink water supplies, storage and handling at intervals not exceeding SEVEN DAYS.
When in scope: Ships within art.3.2.4-15
Evidence requested: Dated inspection log and schedule
Inspections
Inspection is performed together with a seafarer employed in catering; record the individuals participating.
When in scope: Where art.3.2.4-15 applies
Evidence requested: Crew role/names on inspection form
Inspections
Inspect drinking water quantity/quality and the relevant storage/handling spaces and equipment.
When in scope: Within art.3.2.4-15 scope
Evidence requested: Tank/pump/galley inspection checklist
Records
Document results and make them available for review. Confirm onboard retention policy; 2025 DMLC does not specify a universal 3-year water-inspection period.
When in scope: Where art.3.2.4-15 applies
Evidence requested: Logs, traceability and access to inspection records
Corrective action
Set stop-use, isolation, corrective action and independent approval for return to service.
When in scope: When inspections identify potential contamination
Evidence requested: Incident reports, authority approval, retest
Small craft
Older technical rules call for adequate drinking water for voyage/persons in suitable containers; validate current status and applicability with CAM.
When in scope: Commercial cruise ships under 24m if that special regime applies
Evidence requested: Size, category, voyage class and CAM confirmation
Materials
Water containers should be made of materials suitable for goods for human consumption if that rule governs the ship.
When in scope: Where specific under-24m technical regime confirmed
Evidence requested: Tank material certificates and CAM confirmation
Bunkering
Assess supplier source, backflow, protected hoses and transfer acceptance; no universal free-chlorine minimum is asserted.
When in scope: When shore water is bunkered
Evidence requested: Bunkering log and hose inspection
Treatment
Check controls for abnormal conductivity, treatment bypass and failed disinfection; this is engineering good practice, not a published Luxembourg universal UV rule.
When in scope: When water is produced/treated onboard
Evidence requested: Plant schematic, alarms, maintenance and procedure
Sampling
Set sampling locations, frequency and response based on hazards and any certificate-specific instruction.
When in scope: When the WSP calls for sampling
Evidence requested: Sampling log, laboratory results and limits
Applicability
Confirm the precise applicable code, exemptions, approved equivalences and RO/flag written instructions.
When in scope: Large yachts, non-standard ship operations, equivalences
Evidence requested: Flag correspondence, DMLC, survey records
Training
Train responsible crew on inspections, water transfer, incident isolation, recording and handover.
When in scope: All water-handling personnel
Evidence requested: Training register and controlled SOP
Water Safety Plan
Allocate responsible persons for unresolved water risks and schedule follow-up verification.
When in scope: Water Safety Plan and member evidence register
Evidence requested: Action tracker, WSP risk register and approvals
Review
Submit current evidence and applicability decisions; Vorenico technical review is not a statutory certificate.
When in scope: After member self-assessment
Evidence requested: Register export and record of source validation
