Leading classification society Nippon Kaiji Kyokai, also known by the brand name 'ClassNK', has opened a new exclusive survey office in Reggio Calabria, Italy with operations beginning 5 December, 2018.

Reggio Calabria, located in Southwest Italy, faces the Strait of Messina which crosses through the Italian Peninsula and Sicily. In recent years, the number of surveys and audits required in the southern part of Italy and Malta has been increasing.

Through the opening of its latest office, ClassNK will improve the efficiency of its ship surveys and audits in these areas, the society dedicated to ensuring the safety of life and property at sea, and the prevention of pollution of the marine environment said.

"ClassNK will continue to improve its worldwide survey offices network in order to meet its clients’ requests and provide timely and high quality services," said a press release from the soceity.

The orderbook for U.S. dredgers is about $3B, and according to DCA CEO Bill Doyle, the incoming political administration could help this niche maritime sector continue its bull run.
