Second, the operational and safety needs it must be of the marine and offshore sectors. Christopher J. Wiernicki comfortable with Through investments in research ‘techno-economic’ programs and cutting-edge systems, we are working with industry partners to fi gure out how we can collectively gather and share the essential data that are needed to frame sensible risk-based regulations and more focused, effi cient and condition-based classifi cation standards.

This vision will require harnessing the technical and engineering power that is readily available to us but, at present, has seen limited application.

If we are truly to raise the safety bar we have to begin thinking in these terms. True technical leadership is needed to achieve these goals and the test will be whether we can do so. At ABS we stand ready to help the marine and offshore industries tackle this challenge as we collectively establish a framework for the future. Ç
