Certificates
Safety for people and the environment is of great importance. In addition to a skilled helmsman with many years of experience, the other accompanying staff are also skilled and aware. Major maintenance is carried out annually in the winter to ensure that the sailing ships are in good condition, as well as the rigging of the right quality. This maintenance is then followed by the annual inspection and certification by a recognized inspection agency.
This winter, the mast and rigging of the ships were also additionally inspected by ilent and found to be approved. ilent issues the certificates and puts the approved ships on an online list so that you can check this.
Without this approval, charter ships are not allowed to sail and that is a good thing. Your well-being comes first!
