Statutory Certifications

Classification Surveys

Classification surveys are carried out by our qualified surveyors using mainly visual inspection and sampling techniques. They do not consist of comprehensive verification or monitoring.Classification certificates are generally issued for a 5-year period, subject to the satisfactory completion of periodical in-service surveys. The most common periodical classification surveys are the annual, intermediate and class renewal surveys.Leadsmar comprises authorized surveyors for several Non-IACS classification societies.Additionally,Leadsmar is authorized agent of  CRS (Crotian Register of Shipping-IACS Member-) and PRS (Polish Register of Shipping-IACS Member-) in Istanbul,Turkey.

Furthermore,Leadsmar has authorized surveyors in order to carry out Class and Statutory surveys on behalf of some Non-IACS organizations such as OMCS,ICS,MACOSNAR,MSR,NASHA and PSR etc.
