Several members of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) have again been ranked as “medium risk” by a Paris MOU review.
IACS has traditionally been regarded as the association for the highest quality classification societies, but the latest probe of inspection and certification associations and recognised organisations suggests that might not always be the case.
Leading IACS members dominate the “low risk” category of the assessment published this week, but three members failed to improve on their “medium risk” ranking.
