We are accepting...

ships to be transferred from one Society to IMB Class. Following successful completion of our surveys our Surveyors issue on spot the applicable Classification and Statutory Certificates.




Your initial request is handled by our Technical Department that will usually request the following documents:

  • Copies of Classification Certificate (with all endorsements)

  • Copies of Statutory Certificates (with all endorsements)

  • An updated durvey status report from losing Society

  • Valid flag State certificates.

Within the same day of submitting your request we can confirm if the vessel can be accepted by IMB Class and under which conditions. In case your vessel is not accepted by IMB Class Council, the reasons will be explained and presented.

Upon successful completion of our surveys, the Surveyor will issue on spot the applicable Classification and/or Statutory certificates to the vessel. The Surveyor will issue Provisional/Short Term Certificates with validity five months from the date of completion of the surveys.

Full Term Certificates are issued by IMB Class Head Office and upon successful review of the ship’s file.
