Korean Register to Certify Lixembourg-Flagged Ships

Korean Register (KR) – an IACS member classification society – has signed a Memorandum of Understanding governing the delegation of statutory certification services for vessels registered in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.

KR is now fully authorized by the Government of Luxembourg to deliver “statutory services” and is Luxembourg’s seventh Recognized Organization (RO). The South Korean classification society is now able to conduct relevant surveys, audits and issue certificates to Luxembourg flagged ships for SOLAS, MARPOL, ITC, ILL, ISM Code, ISPS Code, and MLC.

This new signing brings the total number of countries where KR is authorized to carry out ship survey and certification work to 68.
