230 million GT

摘要

Japanese classification society ClassNK topped 230mio.GT for the first time at the end November 2014. The Register listed 8,826 vessels totaling 231.34 mio.GT. Since the end of 2013 ClassNK has added a net total of more than 10 mio. GT in the first 11 months of 2014. Continuing recent trends for the Society, transfers of vessels from other societies accounted for more than l/3rd of the joined vessels, ClassNK stated. »In addition to our growth in Europe, which has accounted for more than half the vessel's transferred to our register, in 2014 we have also welcomed our first US-flagged vessels, as well as many newbuildings from South America and other new markets«, commented President Noboru Ueda.
