On May 13, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) received one of the highest honors in the maritime industry when it received “The Classification Society Award” at the Seatrade Asia Awards 2008, held in Singapore. The Seatrade Asia Awards, organized by London based publisher Seatrade, are presented for excellence and innovation in the Asian maritime sector.  The Seatrade Asia Awards’ distinguished panel of judges awarded ClassNK “The Classification Society Award” for its commitment to quality service and contributions to the Asian maritime community, and recognized ClassNK as the leading classification society in Asia.
Since its founding in 1899, ClassNK has established 103 exclusive surveyor offices around the world, with more than 60 offices located in Asia.  The award acknowledges the high level of service ClassNK provides to its clients not only in Japan, China, and Korea, but throughout Asia, the center of the world’s shipbuilding industry.  The award is also a testament to the continued success of ClassNK, which last August became the first class society in the world to have 150 million gross tons on its register. |
