MGN 681 lithium-ion compliance
A practical compliance package, not a paperwork exercise
MGN 681 compliance is increasingly checked at survey and at insurance renewal, and lithium-ion incidents are a known insurer concern. This page covers what a proper review looks like - before it becomes a finding.
What we offer
HASID facilitation
Structured hazard identification workshops to identify credible failure modes, operational risks, escalation pathways, and emergency considerations associated with lithium-ion battery installations.
Risk assessment
Development or review of installation-specific risk assessments covering thermal runaway, fire, gas release, ventilation, detection, suppression, isolation, and recovery considerations.
Design compliance review
Independent review of the battery installation against applicable guidance, intended operational use, and practical vessel integration requirements, including layout, segregation, monitoring, detection, ventilation, firefighting provisions, and emergency response considerations.
Onboard training
Crew-facing training tailored to the installed system, covering lithium-ion hazards, warning signs, emergency response, isolation, escalation, firefighting considerations, and operational good practice.
Beyond compliance on paper
Lithium-ion systems introduce risks which require more than a standard paperwork exercise. Effective compliance depends on clear hazard identification, a realistic understanding of failure scenarios, suitable vessel integration, and crew who know how to respond correctly onboard. This support package is designed to bridge the gap between design intent, operational use, and real-world emergency readiness.
