Innovation certification

Classification society ClassNK is launching a service titled “Innovation Endorsement”, for certifying innovative technology. In February 2020 the Society announced the “ClassNK Digital Grand Design 2030” which shows its future vision for the digital society of 2030, aiming to support the evolution of ocean-related business by meeting the new needs of clients brought about by digital technology and data distribution, and contribute to the further improvement of safety. The Digital Grand Design cites three fundamental policies, with one of them being to “diversify certification services and expand their scope”.
