The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) is preparing to fast-track measures to allow remote surveys, which have been used increasingly during the pandemic.
The move is one of several decarbonisation and digitalisation initiatives to be undertaken by the modernised IACS, which has underdone far-reaching governance reforms under outgoing chairman Koichi Fujiwara.
At the IACS council meeting, it was agreed to develop a unified requirement for remote surveys by October.
