General
Ships that are less than 20 years old and above 100 gross tons or special ships whose gross tonnage is unrestricted may have a classification survey conducted after construction.
However, this does not apply to fishing vessels less than 24 meters long which will operate in coastal service, or any ship which was not surveyed during construction by its flag administration or IACS members.
KR is authorized to issue convention certificates by certain foreign flags and where authorized to do so, will issue the certificate at the appropriate foreign flag ship registry.
