Submitting your application

The MSF1261 application form is for owners and operators to request an assessment for equivalence, exemption, or alternative design and arrangement (ADA) from statutory requirements.

Our preferred way for you to send your completed MSF1261 to us is by email to the appropriate contact as per the Guidance Notes in the form.

Make a payment

Assessments of MSF1261 applications are carried out in Headquarters and not in the local Marine Office; they require payment to be made to different account details as stated below.

Our preferred payment method for all equivalence, exemption or ADA applications is by credit or debit card via the GOV.UK Pay online payment facility, using the following GOV.UK Pay link:

https://products.payments.service.gov.uk/pay/012aaf85954744c39621d4fa8efcc7c0

Please note that you may also need to complete the general application for survey and inspection of ships and fishing vessels (MSF 5100).
