PRS recognized as classification society for inland vessels

On 2 February 2012, the European Commission issued a Commission Implementing Decision 2012/66/EU on the recognition of the Polski Rejestr Statko´w S.A. as a classification society for inland waterway vessels, stating the Society’s conformity with criteria given in Directive 2006/87/EC. PRS may thus operate as a recognized organization for floating units throughout the Community inland waterway network.
This Commission Decision was addressed to the Member States that have inland waterways.
Recognition means that PRS performed technical inspections and documents issued provide grounds for state administrations to recognize the compliance of the vessel with the requirements of Directive 2006/87/EC and to issue Community inland navigation and admeasurements certificates.
