Ships are required to have several certificates from their flag state proving that they have complied with the many international safety and environmental protection conventions that apply to their kind. According to these agreements' provisions, most of the states have handed these certification tasks over to classification associations like the WISE Register of Shipping (WRS). It is simple to locate a surveyor or auditor near the location of your survey thanks to our global network of offices.
Classification societies, however, play a crucial role in the process by conducting the necessary surveys, inspections, and assessments to ensure compliance with the statutory requirements. The classification society acts as an authorized entity to carry out these activities on behalf of the flag state.
In order to execute surveys, audits, and plan assessments in accordance with numerous international maritime treaties, codes, and national legislation and to issue certifications, the WISE Register of Shipping (WRS) is authorized by the following governments to certify maritime vessels, under various national/international regulations:
Classification societies are recognized as authorized organizations by flag states to issue statutory certificates on their behalf. This recognition enables us to carry out surveys, inspections, and certification activities related to the flag state's statutory requirements. These certificates may include safety management, security, pollution prevention, and other relevant aspects.
We can inspect ships at times and places that work for ship owners and operators due to our global network and collaborate with you to achieve compliance and the issuing of these certificates by accepting the burden of certification. Your compliance journey will be facilitated by our services, which also include certification-related assistance.
