PANAMA MARITIME DOCUMENTATION SERVICES INC. (PMDS Class)

Ship Classification is a mechanism by which the international shipping industry regulates itself. Ship Classification implies development of rules (standards) for the construction and maintenance of a ship’s structure and essential engineering system and implementation of such rules in new building and existing ships to ensure the safety of the ships.

We Have developed the Rules for the Ship Classification for existing ships, to ensure the safety of the ships. Following classification services are offered:

  • Class Certificate (Hull & Machinery/Electric)

  • Service Supplier Approval Certificates

  • Monitoring Under Water Survey (UWS)

  • Witness for the Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement

  • Enhance Survey Program (ESP)

  • Hull and Machinery / P&I Surveys

  • Dry Dock/ Bottom Surveys

  • Pre-Purchase Survey

SURVEY AFTER CONSTRUCTION

Maintenance of Class PMDS Classification is assured by the system of periodic surveys to determine continued compliance with its Rules. These include various surveys of hull and machinery on a continuing basis.

CLASSIFICATION OF EXISTING SHIPS

Existing ships, not built under PANAMA MARITIME DOCUMENTATION SERVICES INC. (PMDS Class) supervision, can also be classed with us only after ensuring conformity with our Rules, maintaining the same cycle of classification.
