RPSL document checklist

The documents are only useful when they match each other. We review the file as a connected compliance set.

RPSL documentation typically combines company records, technical personnel evidence, bank guarantee, office evidence, manning agreements, vessel documents, seafarer employment documents and operating policies.

Core documents normally reviewed

  • Certificate of Incorporation, company master data and MOA object review
  • PAN, TAN, GST and statutory identity records
  • Form III, Form V, Form VI and Form VII preparation support
  • Management-level STCW COC or relevant technical-personnel evidence
  • Bank guarantee matched to proposed seafarer capacity
  • Registered lease, ownership document or office-space compliance evidence
  • Manning agreement with employer or shipowner
  • CBA, sample SEA and death/disability compensation alignment
  • P&I cover, MLC certificates and vessel documents
  • DG-approved doctor appointment and approval details where applicable
  • Policies for no-fee recruitment, complaints, data privacy and seafarer protection
  • Records for recruitment, advertisements, interviews, claims and grievances

Common mismatch areas

  • CBA named differently from the sample SEA or manning agreement
  • Form III details not matching authorized signatory records
  • Shipowner or vessel documents not matching the proposed employment arrangement
  • New companies unable to provide five-year financial statements without proper explanation
  • Co-working or shared-office evidence not aligned with inspection requirements
