ABS is a non-profit maritime classification society that sets and enforces standards for ships and offshore structures. It develops rules, conducts surveys, certifies, and classifies vessels to verify they meet safety and reliability requirements. It differentiates itself with a long global track record, broad rules for many vessel types and offshore assets, strong risk assessment, and international support networks. Its goal is to improve safety of life at sea and protect people, property, and the environment by helping owners design, build, and operate safer ships and offshore systems.
