From the early phases of ship design and construction, throughout the entire life cycle, we provide accredited ship classification, appraisals and compliance verifications, irrespective to size and fleet configuration.
INSB Class ship classification program and our dedicated set of Rules and Regulations, assist you to meet sound operational reliability and endurance wherever you operate.
The classification process consists of:
- the development of Rules, guidance notes and other documents relevant to the ship, structure, material, equipment, machinery and other items covered by such documents
- the review of plans and calculations and the surveys, checks and tests intended to demonstrate that the ship meets the Rules.
- the assignment of class and issue of a Certificate of Class, where compliance with the above Rules is found
- the periodical, occasional and class renewal surveys performed to record that the ship in service meets the conditions for maintenance of class.
Class is assigned to a Ship on the basis of compliance with the INSB Class Rules & Regulations, as applicable.
