Classification societies

The 11 members of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) cover roughly 90 % of world commercial tonnage. They publish ship-construction rules, survey newbuilds during construction, and certify in-service ships against those rules and against IMO conventions (SOLAS, MARPOL, Load Lines).
