"Bear
weight on our shoulders, and forge ahead, rain or shine." The historical
background when China Classification Society (CCS) was born determines the
historical mission it shoulders. CCS always has profound understanding to the
fundamental requirements of China for developing the shipping and shipbuilding
industries, safeguarding national maritime rights and interests, and ensuring
national water transport safety. Therefore, we adhere to the policy of
independence and self-reliance, make all-out effort to provide advanced, safe,
green and applicable standards for the industry, and apply new technology and
new standards to promote the upgrading, transformation and enhancement of
competitiveness of our shipping, shipbuilding and supporting industries. Meanwhile,
the leapfrog development of China's shipping, shipbuilding and related
industries excites us to harden our will and hone our skills, and we will forge
ahead hand in hand and shoulder by shoulder with industry partners to create a
more brilliant future. The global publication of the first edition of
CCS's Specifications for Green Ships and Specifications
for Intelligent Ships has strongly promoted the emission reduction
campaign and the development of intelligent technology in shipping industry,
and further solidified the foundation for us to fulfill our sacred mission. In
May 2016, CCS’s Structural Specifications for Bulk Carriers and Oil
Tankers passed IMO review, which will further enhance our ability to
serve the industry and accelerate the implementation and continuous improvement
of China national standards (GBs). In the new
century, maritime security and ocean environment have attracted increasing
concern of the international community. As a responsible classification
society, we adhere to the CCS Mission of "Safety, Environmental protection
and Creating value for clients and society.", continuously build our
technical capacity, and accumulate strength to provide technical support for
shipping safety, energy saving and emission reduction. With the
improvement of our service and our service system, the scale of CCS classed
fleet is booming, as a significant number of super-large, high-tech and high
value-added ships have joined the fleet and thus enhanced its overall
internationalization and modernization. The scale of CCS classed fleet has
exceeded 100 million gross tons and will soon be among the "club" of
100 million tons classification societies. The
sharpness of the sword relies on constant honing. It is only after more than 60
years of heroic development that CCS has become a key player in the
international maritime arena. So far, CCS has been elected as IACS chairman for
three terms, gracefully demonstrating to and convincing the international
maritime community of the wisdom and style of the great eastern country.
Standing on the new historical starting point, CCS is on course to write even
more glorious chapters of the new era with the fighting spirit of here and now
and the heroic passion to forge ahead!
