The Ship Classification Society is an institution unique to the commercial maritime industry. For a single vessel the classification society may act on behalf of a number of client organizations: owner, shipyard, underwriters, furnishers of capital, flag state, port state, etc. The interests of these various groups require a professional staff familiar with the practices of the industry, codes and laws of vessels trading nationally and internationally, flag and port state regulations and, of course, the engineering disciplines and practical skills associated with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of vessels. This paper will discuss some of the problems encountered in delivering training for a multi-national, multi-cultural and multi-lingual organization, and the initiatives being undertaken to provide the necessary skills and to ensure reasonable and consistent interaction and application of codes and standards and professional execution of assigned tasks.
