UCC has been Recognized by Five Ship Classification Societies to Perform Underwater Ship Husbandry
In the shipping industry, classification societies are non-governmental organizations or groups of professionals, ship surveyors and representatives of offices that promote the safety and protection of the environment of ships and offshore structures. Classification societies set technical rules, confirm that designs and calculations meet these rules, survey ships and structures during the process of construction and commissioning, and periodically survey vessels to ensure that they continue to meet the rules.
Underwater Ship Husbandry programs provide cost effective solutions when dry-docking is infeasible or impractical. Past experience has shown that underwater inspection, maintenance and repair can be performed at a level of quality equal to that of work performed in dry-dock. State of the art inspection techniques followed by a well-engineered repair plan help to ensure that this is accomplished. UCC is currently recognized by the American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, Germanischer Lloyd, Bureau Veritas, and Det Norske Veritas.
