Classification and statutory services
We specialise in testing, inspection , certification and engineering solutions.
RINA is a founding member of IACS (International Association of Classification Societies) and operates on behalf of 122 flag authorities. In addition to the provision of classification and statutory certification we deliver value added services to the shipping industry and are rated among the top performing classification societies.
Technical competence, attention to quality and focus on innovation are the pillars that allow us to support shipping on the path to digital transformation and to achieve the CO2 emissions reduction objectives established by the IMO, and we work with designers to verify compliance with the applicable rules of dual-fuel vessels and of novel concept designs incorporating new fuels such as hydrogen or ammonia, allowing for an increase in efficiency and performance which equates to fewer emissions.
