Up to 31 March 2024, the BSS Management Committee made the important policy decisions and signed-off the BSS financial accounts and budget and the planned BSS risk management activity for the year ahead. The financial function and some policy decisions are roles for BSS Ltd Directors.
Decisions about the Boat Safety Standards being adopted by the navigation and harbour authorities is not the remit of the Standards Setting Forum.
The BSS Management Committee benefited from the guidance of the two BSS support committees, BSS Advisory Committee and BSS Technical Committee.
Financial control of the BSS was delivered by the BSS Management Committee Executive, this is now a function of the BSS Limited Directors.
