PrimeShip and the concept of "Total Ship Care"

In its continuing efforts to provide the latest and best technicalservices,ClassNK conducts research and development into advanced technologies based on the data and extensive technical experience it has accumulated over more than a century of ship classification experience, in order to meet the needs of the marine community.
This work is aimed at supporting ship safety at every stage of a ship's life from inception and design through construction, operation, management, maintenance, and related activities. Aspects of all these lifecycle processes of a ship are integrated in an interactive, consistent and harmonized manner as part of a comprehensive system known as PrimeShip.
