SHARERO Status
INSB Class acts as a Recognised Organisation (RO Status) by the Governments of the Countries listed below.
The scope of the delegated duties relates to the performance of IMO statutory functions, including ship surveys, verification, approvals and issue of appropriate statutory certificates.
Instruments reflected are only the main ones and therefore non-exhaustive, as supplemental IMO instruments are covered under pertinent authorisations, including environmental and national requirements, as applicable.
Full-Term Statutory Certificates are issued by INSB Class Head Office exclusively, unless there is a certain Government requirement where Full-Term Certificates shall be issued by the country itself.
Whenever applicable – for IMO instruments entering into force – INSB Class shall issue a Statement of Compliance (SOC) until Flag State(s) have accessed to the particular IMO instrument(s).
