Indian Register moves in on Greek ferry market

Greece’s coveted shipping market is about to become even more crowded in terms of classification, with the Indian Register of Shipping (IRClass) stepping into the sector.

IRClass has recently certified three new Greek-owned vessels and expects to add more, managing director Suresh Sinha told TradeWinds.

“Greek owners and shipyards want more and more competition and more and more players to offer their services,” Sinha, who visited the country last month, said.
