CE Marking, Boat Shipping & Sourcing Projects

2008 was a busy year, 2009 a poor year (no surprise) but 2010 looks like a much better year for boat imports and our CE Marking services.  Our last US visit saw ten inspections and we have a number of Boatsource projects ongoing ranging from a Bayliner 245 for France to a Grand Banks 36 to Norway.   We're also currently involved in a Module A (manufacturer) assessment for a rather strange pontoon type craft for Spain.

Historically many of our CE Marking projects have been in Norway, considered to be one of the most difficult countries due to the strict emissions regulations and somewhat unpredictable interpretation of the Directive/RSG guidelines.  We've now extended our Scandinavian business recently to include Finland working with one of the largest Finnish importers with bases in Finland and the US.  For CE Marking projects in Germany, Portugal, Italy and Cyprus issues have previously emerged at customs but thankfully these were all overcome and we continue to report a 100% success rate.  Other projects took us to France, Sweden the UK and of course the USA.

In addition to US sports boats we also cover boat compliance for sports fish boats, sports cruisers, motor yachts, trawler yachts and sailing yachts as well as RCD noise emissions testing and issuing RCD exemption certificates, several of which have been issued this year to yachts previously based in EEA territories in the Caribbean.

Scroll down to find examples of the craft we have assessed for CE Marking and/or boat import.

More Testimonials

As a 'private buyer' with little knowledge of importing a boat from the US to Europe, Gable Marine helped me through all the technical aspects and legal jargon.  They were generous with their advice and time pre purchase, which enabled me to modify the boat in the US (cheaply) to enable the EU certification to take place smoothly. Bilge pump, and battery fittings etc etc.  I would happily use Gable Marine again and am happy to recommend them to anyone else in need of their services.
