Certificate of Classification

A Certificate of Classification is a document issued by a classification society or an authorized organization that certifies a vessel’s compliance with specific standards, rules, and regulations related to its design, construction, and safety. The classification society evaluates the vessel’s structural integrity, stability, equipment, and systems to ensure that it meets the required safety and quality standards. The Certificate of Classification is essential for demonstrating the seaworthiness and compliance of the vessel, and it is often required by port authorities, charterers, and insurers before a vessel can operate commercially.
