IRClass Gets Authorisation from Malta
In yet another demonstration of its growing global recognition, Indian Register of Shipping (IRClass), a leading classification society, has received authorisation as a Recognised Organisation (RO) from Merchant Shipping Directorate of Transport, Malta.
Malta is the sixth largest flag in the world and largest in
Europe with a tonnage of 72.1 Million GT.
This year, IRClass has earned a spate of authorisations from
various flags worldwide, including US Coast Guard, Latvia,
Antigua & Barbuda, Thailand and Bangladesh.
Moreover, IRClass has set up its offices in Malta & Istanbul.
With offices already established in London, Piraeus and a
representative office in Cyprus, IRClass can provide better
services to its European customers.
IRClass has seen growth in business with several vessels from
European owners taken into class this year. It has also seen an
overall growth, because of increase in new construction surveys,
ship's audits (DOC, ISM, ISPS and MLC), and also increase in
marine component inspection business for new construction
projects.
P K Mishra, Vice President and Regional Manager - Europe and
Americas said today: "Following the EU recognition received last
year, IRClass has been growing from strength to strength in
Europe. We are looking to further enhance our reach within Europe
to provide prompt, efficient, value-added services and winning
the confidence of European shipowners."
