All UK ships must carry a minimum amount of medical supplies in their store and this is set out in a regulation called MSN 1768 published by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.  This rule stipulates the contents of the onboard medical chest and details of  other medical equipment which must be carried and also the responsibilities of how to comply with MSN 1768.

 ANP Pharma can ensure ships are stocked with the relevant medical equipment to ensure compliance with the regulation and assist Ship’s Captains and Masters as well as private seafarers with their duties and responsibilities.  As MSN 1768 suppliers can range from an audit of existing onboard medical equipment to a full refresh and upgrade of supplies.

Who does MSN 1768 apply to?
