Classification

Classification New Constructions The classification of new constructions begins with the submission of plans and documents as specified in the CBS Rules for the Classification of vessels, to one of the CBS Technical offices. All of the submitted documentation is reviewed by skilled engineers in order to ensure compliance with the CBS Rules. This includes Hull, Machinery and Equipment of vessels as covered by the rules. Existing vessels Existing vessels are classed by CBS and certified when it is confirmed that all arrangements satisfy the Rules of CBS and upon satisfactory completion of the relevant surveys. Survey The approved / reviewed plans are supplied to the manufacturer and the attending Surveyor who will in turn ensure the construction, machinery, materials and equipment are in accordance with the planed and approved arrangements, as well as that acceptable working practices are applied.

Statutory Certification CBS Classification is recognised by CYPRUS and other Administrations, such as BELIZE, DOMINICA, GEORGIA, HONDURAS, JAMAICA and SLOVAKIA to carry out surveys and issue relevant certificates on their behalf in accordance with the International Conventions to which they are signatories. The four major International Conventions are: Loadline Convention Tonnage Convention International Convention on Marine Pollution at Sea (MARPOL) International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Safety Management Code (ISM) International Ship & Port facility Security Code (ISPS)

Plan Review Plan review is undertaken by skilled and experienced engineers and covers all rule requirements concerning the hull, machinery, electrical and piping systems. Ship Engineering Ship engineering covers all the services required in order to provide support to the plan review and includes a wide variety of work such as: Finite elements analysis Vibration analysis of machinery Sea-keeping and motion characteristics Hull girder analysis Rule scantlings analysis
