ACE USA Marine Facilities Group Provides Stray Electric Current Safety Checklist for Marinas and Yacht Clubs

A Tool to Minimize Risk for Marinas and Yacht Clubs

Marinas and yacht clubs routinely allow boats of all sizes and conditions to plug into their shore power systems. Every time they do, owners and operators of marine facilities face the possibility that stray electric current may escape into the water. At risk are vessel damage and sinkings, as well as the more serious potential for lethal injury to swimmers and inspectors. A well thought out dock electrical safety management plan may significantly reduce the number and severity of stray current incidents.
Prepared by ACE Marine Facilities loss control specialists, the checklist includes tips for addressing stray electric current risks, including:

• Swimming
• Diving operations
• Electrical equipment installation
• Electrical wiring inspection
• Berthed vessel condition and valuation survey
• Slip rental agreement pointers
