Why work with us
We understand that a day’s downtime could cost you a six-figure sum, and that marginal gains in efficiency can transform your bottom line. As one of the world’s largest and most respected classification societies, we provide independent, third party assurance of safety, technical and environmental compliance. Our early involvement at every stage of the asset lifecycle can dramatically reduce risks, and improve efficiency, saving you time and money.
But in today’s industry, cost-conscious compliance alone isn’t enough to win, retain
and reassure customers and stakeholders. Through our extensive consultancy services,
supported by excellent project management and working relationships, we address
challenges, achieve milestones, and help you maximise opportunities.

Transferring your vessels to LR class is a fast and simple process.
With an international network, we have an unrivalled view of the developments shaping the shipping industry.
