Thank you for sharing your career experience, LionCity.

Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostWe do a little in the offshore but a fair chunk of our business is 'Marine', hence I know the classification societies.
I gave that up and was involved in ship financing, M&As, Investment structuring and consultancy to start shipping companies. More interesting stuff and can be creative to make things work. I haven't given up on technical stuff and still do some consultancy in offshore work like supply vessel layout, pipe layers and accommodation barges both design review and field inspection to keep myself in tune with the shipbuilding market.
Manflyer, now I know why you go to Vietnam on a regular basis.

Definitely need ABS. A/C, Sunroof, metallic paint - all necessary too
Don't know about LR, BV, DNV and GL though. Are they expensive options?
LR - Lloyd Registers (UK)
ABS -American Bureau of Shipping
DNV - Det Norske Veritas
etc...
Hope the above helps.

Originally posted by Singapore_Air View PostHmm, what's a "classification society"?
Nowadays these Societies are global providers of maritime classification, industry certification and assessment, software development and risk management consulting services.
A typical example for the aerospace/aviation industry is Boeing's recent tender with six registrars/certification bodies for a three-year program that will assess 26 of Boeing's major production facilities in order to certify the company to the ISO 14001:2004 standard, a standard which requires compliance to strict environmental rules and regulations.Last edited by N_Architect; 28 March 2008, 10:24 AM.

There are a number of SQTalkers involved in or connected with the shipping industry then! I'm a ship finance lawyer.

A very small view of the internals of a large marine diesel engine. South Korea, 2007.
Testing ('sea-trials') in the open sea prior to delivering the final product to the buyer. Photo taken in the sea passage between South Korea and Japan, during trials of a brand new medium-size oil tanker, early 2007.
Unexpected events always happen. Here, the vessel was stuck during launching(!). South Korea, 2006.
And one classic from the archives. Large containership headed directly to and naturally hit a (fairly large) Mediterranean island, then had to be towed for repairs. Greece, 2002.
