Classification Society

A Classification Society is an organization that establishes and maintains technical standards for the design, construction, and maintenance of ships and other maritime structures. These societies ensure vessels are safe, seaworthy, and compliant with international regulations. They conduct inspections and surveys, issue certifications, and provide guidance on best practices. By doing so, they help protect human life, property, and the environment in marine activities. Each society has its own rules and standards, and many are recognized worldwide, playing a crucial role in the shipping industry and maritime safety.
