The Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA) has awarded RINA a five-year contract for the classification and the inspection of its fleet, which comprises over 120 vessels. The contract includes a possible extension for a further five years if the relationship will be successful.
The SMA fleet includes general working vessels such as patrol boats, icebreakers and rescue boats as well as subsea measurement boats.
The actual regime of the inspections adopted by SMA so far together with this new process help to ensure vessels are fit for purpose and have acceptable levels of stability, safety, seaworthiness and environmental impact. The SMA works to keep the Swedish maritime sector safe and efficient.
