Classification is an important
means to assess the technical condition of offshore installations. Classification
will directly affect the insurance premiums, prices and rents of offshore
installations. China Classification Society (CCS) is a full member of the
International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) and the only
professional organization in China engaged in the classification survey of
ships and offshore installations. Its class notations are included in the
classification clauses by the Institute of London Underwriters (ILU) and enjoy
preferential treatment on premiums.
The mobile offshore units surveyed
by CCS cover jack-up, semi-submersible, submersible,
surface-type, and box on bottom platforms. The ship types include: ExD, GG5000,
JU2000E, CJ50, Workhorse, CJ46, L780, SuperM2, DSJ300, and CP300. Until
now, CCS has completed classification and statutory surveys for over
180 mobile offshore platforms.
