The shipowners
/ managers enjoy simplified class entry procedures and reasonable chargeable
fees when applying to Hellenic Register of Shipping for class entry.
HRS having an expanded network of surveyors worldwide
assures that delays to ships’operation would not be normally expected.
Furthermore given that HRS is recognized by the European
Community together with the 10 IACS members, class and statutory certificates
issued by HRS are accepted worldwide and by the major insurance markets.
Applications for initial classification with HRS of
ships or other marine structures, are to be made by the owners/managers
by submitting the “APPLICATION FOR CLASSIFICATION SURVEY AND AGREEMENT”
form duly filled-in, signed and stamped by the applicant.
The determination of HRS requirements for the class
entry depends on the vessel being previously classed with a Society
member of IACS or not.
In case class transfer is considered for a ship classed
with a Society member of IACS, owners/managers must produce documentary
evidence of the surveys held by the previous classification society
(losing society) as follows:
1. Updated survey status including recommendations,
if any.
2. Updated continuous Hull & Machinery lists, if any
3. Copies of class certificates
4. Copies of statutory certificates
5. Copies of documents issued by the flag Administration (Registry,
Safe manning etc)
Plans deemed necessary on account of the vessel’s
type and service experience are to be requested and submitted.
A program of surveys will be set forth based on the
losing society cycle of surveys.
Statutory
certificates are to be issued by HRS on behalf of the Flag Administration
after relevant authorization following satisfactory surveys in accordance
with the International Conventions.
For details please apply directly to HRS Piraeus Head
Office.
