M Notices
Merchant Shipping Notices (MSN)

M Notices are printed on white paper and contain statutory duties derived from statutory instruments. These must be complied with and must be carried onboard.

Marine Guidance Notes (MGN)

Printed on blue paper these contain guidance on how asks should be carried out etc... Usually taken as a minimum standard in courts.

'''Marine Information Notes (MIN) '''

Printed on green paper these contain information that may be of use to target people within the shipping industry. E.g colleges, surveyors, ship owners.

The information contained in the M.I.N is usually of a limited nature.

All of the above can be classed as either (M) for Merchant Vessels, (F) for Fishing Vessels or (M+F) for all vessels. This means you would be quickly able to see what was of interest to you and your type of vessel.

M Notices are available from MCA offices and you can subscribe online for free. Visit [www.mnotices@ecgroup.co.uk] and put 'subscribe' in the heading.
