QUALITY, modernisation and transparency were the themes of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) during 2017, said its chairman, Knut Orbeck-Nilssen, who represents DNV GL's chairmanship of the 12 member society’s grouping.
"This approach was widely reflected in IACS's 2017 Annual Review, which was presented in London by Mr ORbeck-Nilssen, reported London's Tanker Operator.
He said that during these dynamic times, both IACS and its member societies, need to act as a guide for the shipping industry, identifying the path for others to follow.
"When many in the maritime community feel like their businesses are in dire straits, IACS and its members, the top classification societies, need to be a beacon of light setting the course ahead - with modern requirements, transparent processes and the highest quality of service," he said.
Highlights included achieving full compliance with the IMO's Goal Based Standards; ongoing industry involvement in cyber security and autonomy; and the launch of new membership criteria, he said.
Said IACS secretary general Robert Ashdown: "With the maritime industry facing complex and competing demands, IACS continues to play a leading role by bringing familiar technical assurance processes to bear against new and unfamiliar technologies."
