# AmSpec Group Has Gained Approval from the UK Government for MARPOL Pre-washes

by AmSpec Team

![](https://blog.amspecgroup.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Marpol-UK-Certification-1.png)

Exciting News! AmSpec Group has officially received UK Government approval for **MARPOL pre-washes**! We’re now equipped to provide essential services for vessels carrying Noxious Liquid Substances (NLS) in compliance with MARPOL Annex II.

In the United Kingdom, MARPOL Surveyors are appointed on behalf of the MCA to carry out this work in a professional and timely manner. Our dedicated MARPOL surveyors ensure that all procedures are followed meticulously, from verifying pre-wash processes to meet MARPOL Annex II requirements, and also, where applicable, approving pre-wash exemptions while always endorsing the Cargo NLS record book accordingly. We're committed to protecting our marine environment while assisting ship owners in navigating compliance.

Stay informed and ensure your vessels are compliant! For inquiries about our new service, reach out to our local operations specialists today at [northuk.operations@amspecgroup.com](mailto:northuk.operations@amspecgroup.com)!
