ClassNR specialists can also provide comprehensive technical services to suit a wide variety of customer demands related to offshore projects, including rule development, plan approval, and site surveys.
The scope of class registration in these cases depends on the characteristics of each individual offshore unit. For
an FPSO for example, the hull and mooring systems are generally registered in accordance with classification
society rules, while for the topside facili-ties, classification is used only to certify the minimum safety standards for
key equipment. Although class registration is not required for many offshore facilities, classification societies are
often re-quested to examine designs in accordance with other safety standards such as specific industry
standards and oil company specifications which differ from standard classification requirements.
