Classification Society Sample Clauses

The Classification Society clause defines the role and requirements of a recognized classification society in certifying and monitoring the condition of a vessel. Typically, this clause mandates that the vessel must be classed with a reputable society, such as Lloyd’s Register or DNV, and that the classification must be maintained throughout the duration of the contract. It may also require prompt notification and rectification of any class-related issues. The core function of this clause is to ensure the vessel’s seaworthiness and compliance with industry standards, thereby reducing operational and safety risks for all parties involved.
