MCA SPV Code 2025 compliance for UK & Irish coded vessels AI does the paperwork. You go boating.
The compliance app for UK & Irish coded vessel skippers. Snap a certificate, see your gaps against the 2025 Code, stay survey-ready all year.
Built for the boats
you actually run.
From single-skipper charter RIBs to commercial workboats and licensed passenger boats — CodedOK works for every coded vessel on the UK and Irish coast.
The new code is here.
Are you ready?
For twenty years, UK coded vessels were certified under MGN 280. From December 2025, the new MCA Sport & Pleasure Vessel Code Edition 1 takes over — and every charter operation faces five new requirements.
The 2025 Code is loaded. Your record is mapped against it.
Auto-loads the new schedule per vessel. Runs a gap analysis. Drafts your 11-section SMS. Renewal reminders 90 / 60 / 30 days before expiry. Surveyor sign-off in the app.
Snap.
Done.
Photograph any certificate — coding cert, PLI, liferaft service, radio licence. AI extracts the expiry, issuer, and serial number in a second. No retyping. No spreadsheets.
Drop a PDF.
Get a record.
One survey report in. Every certificate, expiry, and deficiency out — categorised, dated, and attached to the right vessel. The five-hour onboarding spreadsheet is gone.
Inspection-ready,
all year.
Push reminders 90, 60, and 30 days before anything expires. Surveyor cross-org access — they sign off inside the app. Signed inspection pack PDF lands in your inbox the day before survey day.
The five-hour problem
solved in five minutes.

What changes on 1 December 2025?
The MCA Sport & Pleasure Vessel Code Edition 1 replaces MGN 280. New mandatory Safety Management System for charter, new stability route for under-15m, refreshed equipment tables, formal owner declarations. Full explainer →
Does it cover Irish PBL?
Yes. All six Classes (P1–P6) are first-class jurisdictions per vessel. Pick "Ireland — PBL" and the Marine Survey Office schedule loads alongside the UK MCA set. Class breakdown →
What if my certificates are on paper?
Perfect — that's what CodedOK is for. Photograph each one. AI reads issuer, expiry, serial number, and files it against the right vessel. Works on creased, faded, or partially-obscured paperwork.
Can my surveyor see this?
Only when you invite them. Surveyor seat is free per vessel. They see your record from their own login, sign off the inspection in the app, and the signed pack lands in your inbox.
Does it work offshore with no signal?
Yes. Installed as a PWA, the app works fully offline. Edits queue locally and sync when you're back in coverage. No data lost in a tunnel or twenty miles offshore.
Is my data secure?
Evidence is stored in Supabase EU (Frankfurt), GDPR-aligned. Cached on your device for offline use. Export as PDF archive any time. Full erasure within 30 days on request.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. No contract, no minimum term. Cancel from inside the app. Solo is free forever; Pro and Team have a 14-day trial.
