Marine & Offshore (Ship Classification)
Trusted assurance for every vessel, every voyage.
Our Marine & Offshore Classification Services provide independent, globally recognized assurance that vessels and offshore units meet the highest standards of safety, reliability, and compliance.
From bulk carriers and tankers to offshore units, cruise ships, and specialized vessels, we apply rigorous class rules, statutory compliance, and innovative digital tools to ensure confidence for shipowners, financiers, flag states, and charterers.
