Croatian Register of Shipping is the latest organisation to join the International Association of Classification Societies.
IACS chairman Noboru Ueda accepted the registry’s application for membership. 
Ueda said that he looked forward to the registry’s “active participation in and contribution to” the organisation’s work.
CRS’ membership follows that of the Indian Register of Shipping, which became the first new member of IACS last year since new membership criteria came into effect in 2009.
