What RS Does
RS, founded in 1913, is an important classification society. It works to make marine transportation safer and more environmentally friendly. RS checks technical documents, inspects ships, and ensures offshore facilities meet international safety rules. They also certify vessels, companies, and industrial products to make sure they follow global standards. RS even helps companies with their quality management systems, making sure they meet both international and national guidelines.
More Than Just a Classification Society
RS is doing more than just following its traditional roles. It is now expanding into new areas, offering more services like engineering and consulting. They are also helping companies with technical documentation for ships in service and performing marine warranty surveys. In addition, RS inspects different types of containers, including those used offshore and for dangerous goods. They help companies by declaring and certifying these goods to ensure everything follows the rules, especially for dangerous and bulk cargoes.
