Class NK to Survey Canadian-Flagged Vessels
Japanese classification society ClassNK has received authorization from Transport Canada to carry out statutory surveys on Canadian-flagged vessels on behalf of the Government of Canada.
As a result of the authorization ClassNK will now be able to carry out surveys, audits, and issue certificates for SOLAS, MARPOL, Load Line and other international conventions for Canadian-flagged vessels.
Speaking on the occasion, Class NKChairman and President Noboru Ueda said: “This authorization reflects the rapid growth of our activities in North America and in Canada in particular.
We have provided survey and certification services for many of Canada’s leading shipowners for decades now, and we have consistently increased our resources in the region to support the growth of the local industry.
Along with our recent acquisition of British Columbia-based Helm Operations, this authorization represents the next step in our expansion here in Canada and will allow us to further expand the range of services we can offer Canadian shipowners and operators.”
With the authorization from Transport Canada, ClassNK is now authorized to perform surveys and audits on behalf of 111 Flag Administrations throughout the world.
