Tranfer of Class

We are accepting ships to be transferred from another Society to ClassIBS. Following successful completion of our surveys our Surveyors issue on spot the applicable Classification and Statutory Certificates.

Your initial request is handled by our Operations Department that will usually request the following documents:

  1. TOCA application form duly completed to clearly specify the losing Society. This will allow us to contact the losing Society and request further information for your ship.
  2. Copies of Classification Certificate (with all endorsements)
  3. Copies of Statutory Certificates (with all endorsements)
  4. An updated survey status report from losing Society
  5. Valid flag State certificates. In case your ship is changing flag, the anticipated flag Administration must be stated in our application form.

It is our practice during TOCA that the surveys be conducted as a continuation of ship’s survey cycle.  In case your ship is not within the window for a survey then the minimum scope of surveys to be conducted on board during our TOCA is annuals.
