The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has launched a new app that aims to provide seafarers with essential safety advice, checklists, and important resources. The Official MCA Guidance app is designed to offer seafarers easy access to practical information on staying safe at sea and preparing for important aspects of their job, such as vessel surveys and inspections.

In addition to safety guidance, the app also includes resources to support seafarers’ physical and mental health. The maritime industry can be challenging, with periods of hardship, pressure, and prolonged isolation, often with limited services. The MCA recognizes the importance of supporting seafarers and helping them overcome any challenges or health-related obstacles they may encounter.
