Vessel Safety & Pollution Prevention Certification Service
Nautinix handles vessel safety certificates (construction, equipment, radio), the Load Line Certificate, and pollution prevention certificates compliant with MARPOL.
What This Service Covers
Safety certificates prove a vessel is seaworthy in terms of construction, equipment, and radio. Pollution prevention certificates (SNPP for domestic; IOPP/ISPP/IAPP for international) prove the vessel meets environmental standards. Issuance requires periodic surveys — annual, intermediate, and special survey.

Why Choose Nautinix
Frequently Asked Questions
Which MARPOL certificate does my vessel need?
It depends on size and route. Domestic vessels generally need SNPP; vessels ≥ 400 GT on international voyages need IOPP, with other MARPOL types (ISPP/IAPP) based on cargo. We help map out your needs.
What happens if a safety certificate expires?
The vessel can be barred from sailing because the SPB is rejected. A missed annual survey invalidates the certificate. We monitor schedules to keep it valid.
What is the Load Line Certificate?
The Load Line Certificate sets a vessel's safe loading limit. It's mandatory for vessels of certain sizes and checked during the survey.
Information is general. Actual document requirements depend on vessel type, GT, operating area, and current regulations.
