Under Japanese legislation, Lloyd’s Register has been designated as a Recognised Organisation by the Japanese government and is granted delegated responsibility for statutory surveys and permission to issue statutory certificates.
Prior to the authorisation of Lloyd’s Register, only ClassNK, the domestic classification society and fellow IACS member, has held such recognition.
Recognition comes at the end of a comprehensive review of Lloyd’s Register’s organisation and operations by the Japanese government and takes place against a background of a government-planned expansion of the Japanese fleet over the next five years.
