The classification societies say that this agreement marks a new stage in their relationship, in which the two parties look to move closer together for the benefit of the Indonesian maritime industry.

One of the main aims of the agreement is to provide a more proactive approach to the exchange of information and opinions on technical and industry topics. Also on the agenda is the pooling of the two organisations’ technical and human resources to improve both the quality and convenience of their services. There is also the potential for joint research and development projects, collaboration on the development of technical rules, plan approval and surveys, as well as the education and training of technical staff, according to ClassNK and BKI.
