New cooperation agreement

While the agreement is comprehensive, the offshore industry will be a priority area of focus for the two leading classification societies.  

CCS and ABS will also expand their collaboration efforts in numerous other areas including research and development and software development for large and technologically-advanced ships. The societies will continue to host training and industry seminars in areas of mutual interest including deepwater activities.

The new agreement builds upon the relationship formally established in 1993 when CCS and ABS entered into their original cooperation agreements.
