WRS Class becomes St. Kitts and Nevis Recognized Organization
WRS (WISE Register of
Shipping) has become the authorized Recognized Organization for St. Kitts and
Nevis for conducting statutory certification of ships according to national and
international regulations. This recognition allows WRS to carry out
classification and certification services for vessels under the St. Kitts and
Nevis Ship Registry, including offshore facilities.
WRS is a classification
society that offers a comprehensive range of certification services related to
technical standards, safety, and verification procedures. Their services cover
various stages of a vessel's lifecycle, from conception to decommissioning, and
they provide constant monitoring throughout.
By classifying a
vessel, WRS ensures that it complies with accepted national and international
norms. While classification may not be mandatory for all vessel types, it
demonstrates adherence to recognized standards and regulations.
Under the authorization
from St. Kitts and Nevis, WRS is permitted to perform surveys and issue
statutory certificates in various sectors. This includes certifications related
to Load Line, Ballast Water Management, Tonnage, Ship Recycling, Antifouling,
Maritime Labor, MARPOL, SOLAS, and other codes and conventions governed by the
International Labor Office and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). WRS
can also issue statutory certifications in compliance with St. Kitts and Nevis
national regulations for non-conventional vessels.
St. Kitts and Nevis is
known for its St. Kitts & Nevis International Ship Registry, which has been
operational since 2005. It has registered a significant number of vessels and
has a positive reputation for efficient and reliable services. The registry
operates through a network of Maritime Registrars, providing local support and
facilitating ship and mortgage registrations within clients' time zones.
WRS, as a recognized
maritime service provider, will work in collaboration with the St. Kitts and
Nevis Ship Registry to offer comprehensive solutions to clients. Their services
extend beyond vessels to floating facilities falling under the registry's
jurisdiction.
Overall, this
recognition solidifies WRS's role in providing classification services,
statutory certifications, engineering solutions, audit services, and compliance
solutions for the maritime industry, while also contributing to the offerings
of the St. Kitts and Nevis Ship Registry.
