Safeguarding National Waters
“BKI provides expert technical services to support the responsibilities of a Coastal State, ensuring vessels operating in national waters are safe, compliant, and environmentally sound”
1. Verification of Compliance for Foreign Vessels
Foreign vessels entering a nation's waters must comply with specific local regulations. BKI verifies that these vessels meet the required standards.
- Domestic Regulations: Verification against national requirements (cabotage, safety equipment, manning).
- Port Entry Requirements: Technical checks for port-specific safety and environmental standards.
2. Port State Control (PSC) Support
While PSC is a government function, BKI provides crucial background support—ensuring ships are compliant before arrival and responding rapidly to address any deficiencies on BKI-classed vessels.
3. Technical Consultancy for Maritime Infrastructure
BKI provides technical advisory and verification for aids to navigation and port/terminal development.
- Aids to Navigation (AtoN): Verification of buoys, beacons, and other navigational aids.
- Port & Terminal Development: Technical studies and QA for maritime facilities.
4. Environmental Protection Advisory
Expert guidance on implementing international conventions like MARPOL within national waters, including practical strategies for pollution prevention and response.
