Talk:Ship classification society

message: While wikifing Farley Mowat (Sea Shepherd vessel) I was looking for information on Ship Registers. Not to much was forthcoming, so I have redirected Ship Register here. I don't know that much about the function of registers (such as naming, legal requirements etc). The Farley Mowat article mentioned that about a registration being struck and the ship losing their registration flag some more information about that would be usefull here.

replies: text: Ship registers in that sense should redirect to Flag_State. Classification societies may have the word "register" in their name (such as Lloyds Register or Hellenic Register) but they are not ship registers. That authority is only with national administrations such as the US Coast Guard, Liberia Registry, Panama Registry, etc.Offshore1 20:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ship Register

message: I have used this article as input to the development of business rules for a computer system with the maritime domain as the subject matter. I found the article helpful, well written and of a quality to render it reliable. How does one get the importance and quality rating for an article updated these days in the Wikipedia??

thread_title:  Important article 

message: This section in particular seems more polemic than encyclopedic, and I have added a couple of .  Also deleted one para which was only related to the origin of FoCs and made no mention of Classification Societies (the linked flag of convenience page provides the background).  I'll try to come back to this.Davidships (talk) 22:24, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering if I saw a ship in a harbor marked with a classification society abbreviation that I did not recognize if there are official references I could use to see who classified the vessel and what their standards were. Classification society#List of classification societies is not a complete list. For example:
* CM is on :File:733 how-deep.jpg
* DT
* PC
* SB
* TD
Also, it seems the abbreviations seen on Plimsoll lines are not the same as the ones used in this article. For example:
* :File:Plimsoll line of American Bureau of Shipping.jpg is marked "AB" but this article claims the abbreviation is "ABS."
* Ships are marked "HR" but the article has "HR" in the table and "HRS" in the external links list.
* Ships are marked "IR" but this article claims "IRS."
* Ships are marked "NK" but the article has "NKK" in the table and "NK" in the external links list.
* Ships are marked "NV" but this article claims "DNV."
* Ships are marked "RI" but this article claims "RINA."
The list of "External links" should be merged into "List of classification societies." I've just completed a round of edits to make the lists the same in terms of the spelling of the names etc. other than.
* Hellenic Register of Shipping is listed as "HR" in the table and "HRS" in external links. This needs to be resolved.
* Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) is listed as "NKK" in the table and as "NK" in the external links. I believe "NK" is the classification code. Entering NKK in the search box in the upper-right corner of http://www.classnk.or.jp/hp/en/about/aboutNK/index.html gets hits. A casual scan of the search results shows they seem to use NKK as the abbreviation for the company. This image shows "NK" over "Nippon Kaiji Kyokai." This needs more research to see if we need "NKK" on this article or if just "NK" will do.
* "Intermaritime Certification Services" is not listed in external links.
* "International Naval Surveys Bureau" is not listed in external links.

message: I came here looking for information about safety rating systems for motor vehicles and found this instead. Has anyone else come here expecting something else?  --Greenbreen (talk) 10:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The "Vietnam Register" fulfills for sea and river going ships a double role: Classification society as well as national registry.
http://www.vr.org.vn/gioi-thieu/Pages/gioi-thieu-chung.aspx?ItemID=4645 gives 1964 as the founding year of the Vietnam Register. Unfortunately that site has much more info in Vietnamese than in English.
