When a ship contract is signed, a notation is inserted into the contract. This time, we will organize the contents of these notations.
First, the notations defined by the classification society are as follows.
They indicate that the ship or facility has met certain essential requirements for the classification and are listed in the Class regulations related to each rule set.
Class notations describe the structure or characteristics of the ship and are supported by technical requirements of the rules that can be clearly complied with. Sometimes, compliance with the rule requirements can be achieved by satisfactorily following ShipRight procedures (e.g. FDA, there may be other ways to demonstrate compliance with the rules).
It is important to keep in mind that not all aspects of the Class Notation requirements are based solely on an evaluation of the ship plan against the rules, and many verifications are performed on site with the presence of an inspector.
This is where the term ShipRight comes in. ShipRight is a comprehensive system of procedures aimed at ensuring a high level of safety, quality, and reliability during design, construction, and operation.
