How it works with electronic certificates

Now, Electronic certificates are issuing with flag acceptance by KR on behalf of the flag state.
If KR has not been granted acceptance from the respective flag, the certificate will be printed out and manually signed as traditional paper certificates.
Endorsed and electronically signed latest certificates are always updated and available in our web site KR e-fleet immediately upon completion of a survey or issuance.
The certificates are protected against tampering and carry a electronic signature and a tracking number for the purpose of checking their validity.

The validity of a certificate can be checked through our online verification site by using the Tracking Number with certificate number or QR code on the certificate.
