Conflict of Interest
Languages: IT · EN · DE
What's at stake
Port pharmacies audit your vessel with one goal: sell stock. This leaves you exposed — not just to wasted budget, but to real regulatory consequences.
A failed Port State Control inspection can detain your vessel for days or weeks. Every day at anchor costs the owner — and your reputation.
Non-compliance results in significant fines from maritime authorities — far exceeding the cost of a proper independent audit.
In a medical emergency, an incomplete or expired medical chest is not a regulatory failure — it is personal liability for the Captain.
The Process

I come aboard. Full MSN 1905 inspection: stock, expiry dates, controlled drugs, storage temperatures, Annexes 1, 2 & 9.
You receive a signed compliance certificate and a traffic-light report. Port State Control ready. No ambiguity.
What the Audit Covers
All packages include a signed MSN 1905 compliance certificate. No stock is ever sold.

Level II

The Difference
Traditional Approach
Goal: Supply & Certify
When audit and sales are handled by the same provider, a structural conflict of interest may arise.
Potential Conflict of Interest
The same entity inspects and supplies. Objectivity can be compromised.
No Budget Optimisation
Stock recommendations may reflect inventory availability rather than regulatory requirements.
Generalist Approach
Broad pharmaceutical knowledge applied to a highly specific maritime regulation.
Independent Audit
Goal: Certify Compliance
My only interest is your vessel's regulatory compliance.
Zero Conflict of Interest
I sell no medicines. My audit is structurally independent, as MCA guidance recommends.
Real Savings
I tell you exactly what you need — nothing more, nothing less. Real savings every year.

FAQ
MCA MSN 1905 (M+F) mandates medical equipment standards for commercial yachts 100GT+. It requires an annual inspection by someone independent from the officer responsible for the stores. I specialize exclusively in this regulation.
The base audit (Level I) takes approximately half a day on board. Audit + Crew Training (Level II) requires a full day. The Full Compliance Package (Level III) also takes a full day, with comprehensive temperature mapping of all storage areas.
No — never. This is the structural core of what makes the service independent. I sell no medicines or medical supplies. My only deliverable is a signed compliance certificate and a clear report. This separation is exactly what MCA guidance recommends.
Based in Switzerland, I operate primarily in Mediterranean ports. I'm available wherever your vessel is berthed — contact me to confirm availability for your port and schedule.
In most cases, yes. Port pharmacies recommend stock based on what they have to sell. An independent audit identifies exactly what MSN 1905 requires — no more. Captains regularly find they have been maintaining unnecessary excess stock, representing real ongoing savings.
