PrimeShip and the concept of "Total Ship Care"

In its continuing efforts to provide the latest and best technicalservices,ClassNK conducts research and development into advanced technologies based on the data and extensive technical experience it has accumulated over more than a century of ship classification experience, in order to meet the needs of the marine community.
This work is aimed at supporting ship safety at every stage of a ship's life from inception and design through construction, operation, management, maintenance, and related activities. Aspects of all these lifecycle processes of a ship are integrated in an interactive, consistent and harmonized manner as part of a comprehensive system known as PrimeShip.

In short, PrimeShip is the collective name for the technically advanced and reliable systems and services comprising a total ship care system developed and offered by ClassNK and aimed at contributing to ensuring the comprehensive safety of ships throughout their operating lives as well as the prevention of marine pollution.
PrimeShip integrates the existing software systems, guidances, databases and other services with state-of-the-art technologies to dynamically improve the efficiency of the service offered by the Society to support total ship care. New programs and systems are continually being developed by ClassNK to enhance the effectiveness of PrimeShip to meet the technological needs of clients worldwide.
