Chairman of IACS pinpoints three key themes of the Association's strategy for the future |
|
London, 20 April, 2018 (APA/OTS) - Knut ?rbeck-Nilssen's commitment to quality, modernisation and transparency widely reflected in IACS work and future vision. |
Quality, modernisation and transparency have been the three
fundamental themes of the International Association of
Classification Societies (IACS) during DNV GL's Chairmanship, and
this approach is widely reflected in IACS' 2017 Annual Review which
was presented in London today by IACS Chairman Knut ?rbeck-Nilssen.
Looking back at IACS' development and successes over the past year,
Mr ?rbeck-Nilssen said that during these dynamic times, both IACS
and its twelve Member societies need to act as a guide for the
shipping industry, identifying the path for others to follow.
"When many in the maritime community feel like their businesses are
in dire straits, IACS and its Members, the top classification
societies, need to be a beacon of light setting the course ahead -
with modern requirements, transparent processes and the highest
quality of service," the Chairman said.
The three themes of IACS' strategy build on the work done by the
organisation and its Member classification societies last year, as
detailed in the 2017 Annual Review, and position the Association
well for the many challenges that lie ahead.
Highlights for IACS and its Members from 2017 include achieving
full compliance with the International Maritime Organization's Goal
Based Standards; ongoing industry involvement in cyber security and
autonomy; and the launch of new membership criteria.
Commenting on the publication of the 2017 Annual Review, Mr
?rbeck-Nilssen said: "2017 was a year in which the maritime world's
key players had to get to grips with tectonic changes in markets,
regulations and technology. I am proud to say that both IACS and its
Member societies rose to that challenge with their work across the
year: Together we achieved significant progress in modernising the
concept of class and in adapting to the digital transformation of
our industry. In IACS, we strive to ensure that our own standards
allow for innovative practices that utilise the flexibility
available within ship regulations while maintaining high-quality and
delivering on our unceasing commitment to a safer and more secure
maritime world. IACS' 2017 Annual Review testifies to these
endeavours, as well as offering a roadmap for how the organisation
and its members will ensure they continue to provide, openly and
transparently, the highest quality classification services to the
maritime industry."
"With the maritime industry facing complex and competing demands,
IACS continues to play a leading role by bringing familiar technical
assurance processes to bear against new and unfamiliar
technologies," added Robert Ashdown, IACS' Secretary General. "Our
2017 Annual Review showcases the work that IACS' Member societies
have undertaken in this respect, while also emphasising our
continuous commitment to quality operations and, by way of the Class
data provided, to acting in an ever more transparent way."
