What we offer

Transfer of class (TOC) is the process by which you can move your vessel, if currently classed by a member or associate of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), to LR class. Quality procedures laid down by IACS describe the responsibilities of each society for the conduct of TOC surveys and the submission of plans and information but we will make the process hassle-free for you.

For a vessel formerly classed by us, the same TOC procedures apply, with the advantage that we will already have knowledge of your vessel.

Formal request

To initiate the classification process, the project manager will present you with a Request Form for signature. This allows LR to approach the current classification society and obtain details of survey status and other related data. We can then formalise surveys required for classification as well as any specific flag state requirements.

In most cases, we can combine a transfer with normal survey requirements, minimising cost and disruption to your operations.
