This dissertation analyses the role of classification societies in the shipping industry starting with a brief historical background of each classification society as well as a presentation of all members of the association in terms of each fleet and orientation.
After each classification society is analyzed, the role of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) is introduced, as well as its compliance with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) rules and regulations. In particular, the criteria that each classification society shall comply with in order to become a member of the association, the rights, the obligations and also the suspension or withdrawal procedures will be listed.
An explanation of each main classification society’s survey will follow. The class renewal, the intermediate and the annual surveys, the docking survey, the propeller shaft survey and the boiler survey as well as their scope of inspection will be explained in detail. Furthermore, the role of each classification society regarding the statutory surveys and their relation to the flag administrations will be cited.
In the last part of this chapter the focus will be on the class and statutory certificates, which are considered as a crucial aspect in a vessel’s operation. Each one of the class certificates, their scope and validity will be presented. The statutory certification will follow, describing each certificate such as the safety construction, the safety equipment, the load line, the inventory of hazardous materials or the ballast water management of a vessel as well as the necessity, the regulation, the inspection procedure and the validity.
