Safe Manning
Commercially used recreational craft must have a Safe Manning Certificate stating the minimum safe manning for the ship. The required crew size is subject to the size of the ship and the area of operation and is regulated in Annex 4 of the "See-Sportbootverordnung". The definition of the areas of operation is given in §1 para. 2 of the "Sportseeschifferscheinverordnung". Please apply for the Safe Manning Certificate at the Ship Safety Division of BG Verkehr.
