Message from Chairman and President

Welcome to the ClassNK Annual Report. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone for their continued support of our activities here at ClassNK.

ClassNK is actively dedicated to ensuring the safety of life and property at sea and protecting the marine environment. In order to realize this mission, ClassNK devotes all of its managerial resources to the development of maritime infrastructure by offering a range of high-quality technical services, engaging in collaborative research and developing a variety of software solutions for the entire maritime industry.

As a result of our commitment to this mission, in 2014 we achieved remarkable results. This report details some of ClassNK’s most significant achievements of this year.

In terms of our classification activities, the ClassNK register reached a total of 230 million gross tons by the end of 2014. With the Noboru Ueda addition of newbuildings, ClassNK registered Representative Director, Chairman and President its highest number of existing vessels to date. Existing vessels totaled one third of new registrations including the registrations of our first ever German-flagged and United States- flagged vessels.

2014 At a Glance

ClassNK Register Reaches more than 230 Million Gross Tons and 8,872 Vessels

• At the end of December 2014, the ClassNK register had reached a total of 232,871,435 gross tons, making it the first time that the Register had exceeded 230 million gross tons.

• The size of ClassNK’s register has grown every year since 1988, reaching 100 million gross tons registered in 1997 and a record breaking 200 million gross tons registered in mid-2012. Topping the 200 million mark was an important milestone in ClassNK’s history and marked the first time a classification society had achieved such a figure.

• In 2014, this increased further with 8,872 vessels totaling more than 230 million gross tons at the year end. While the figure of shipbuilding is on the decrease, thanks to an increase in the number of existing vessels transferring from other classification societies to register with ClassNK, ClassNK’s registered vessels has continued to rise.

ClassNK Actions for the Structural Safety of Large Container Ships

In response to the serious hull girder fracture accident of a large container ship in June 2013, ClassNK has carried out investigations on the structural safety of large container ships so as to prevent occurrence of similar accidents. The Committee on Large Container Ship Safety was established in August 2013 on the initiative of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. ClassNK served as a member of the committee and the committee issued an interim report on the investigation in December 2013 (JG Interim Report). JG Interim Report concluded that the hull fracture originated from buckling collapse of the bottom shell plates in the midship part. JG Interim Report also suggested future tasks relating to the simulation of acting loads and the strength in consideration of uncertain factors and the margins of structural strength. In light of the findings from JG Interim Report, ClassNK set up a new Investigative Panel on Large Container Ship Safety in February 2014 (NK Panel). NK Panel investigated the possibility of occurrence of the fracture and the structural safety of large container ships. In September 2014, ClassNK issued its Investigation Report on Structural Safety of Large Container Ships (NK Report) which contained the investigation findings, conclusions and the action plan to be implemented by ClassNK. A summary of NK Report is outlined below, and a full version of NK Report is available from the ClassNK homepage.
