All vessels operating in UK waters for commercial gain must be licensed to do so. The principal method of licensing a vessel is through the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) Codes of Practice for Small Commercial Vessels.

Codes of Practice

Procedure

The following forms are to be completed and signed by the Owner/Managing Agent and the Nominated Surveyor and forwarded with the required fees to the YDSA before a Small Commercial Vessel Certificate can be issued:

Licensing Act 2003

The changes in licensing requirements bought in with the 2003 Licensing Act had significant implications for charter yachts operating in the UK.
