MarineCraft Journal

The MarineCraft Journal is written and reviewed by MarineCraft Global's technical team in Malaysia. Every article is checked against primary sources: IMO instruments and SOLAS chapters, Tokyo MOU inspection data, class society and OPITO guidance, and Malaysian regulators including CAAM, DOSH and the Marine Department. Sources are listed at the foot of each article so you can check a claim rather than take our word for it. Where we get something wrong, we correct it and say so.
