Marine Registration Services

Overview

Classed vessels are subject to ongoing survey and certification requirements set by their classification society, alongside - and sometimes overlapping with - flag-state registration requirements.

We coordinate with classification societies on your behalf, tracking survey cycles, preparing documentation, and managing the relationship so classification requirements do not conflict with your registration or operating schedule.

Benefits

Coordination across classification survey cycles and flag-state requirements.

Works alongside naval architecture, technical drawings, and stability booklet needs.

Reduces the administrative load of managing a classification society relationship directly.

Relevant experience with classification societies including RINA and Tasneef.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need classification if my vessel is not commercial?+

Some private vessels are classed by owner preference, finance, insurance, or size, while many commercial vessels require class or equivalent certification. We confirm the route from your vessel details.

What is the relationship between classification and flag registration?+

Flag registration identifies the vessel's registration authority; classification confirms technical standards through a class society. Some vessels need both processes coordinated.

Can you work with any classification society, or only specific ones?+

We coordinate with the relevant society for the vessel and project. Tell us the class society named on your certificate and we will confirm the next step.
