The classification societies are delegated by the minister to conduct inspections, and so on. They will deliver certificates to ships on behalf of the Minister of Transport. In conducting their inspection and work, if they determine they cannot deliver a certificate, then the certificate will not be delivered. The ship cannot sail without a certificate. That could be a very costly undertaking for a shipping company.
Having said that, we will also conduct risk-based inspections with Transport inspectors, and if we find deficiencies, we can deliver administrative monetary penalties to the companies.
