Warship classification Rules
Rina and IRS join warship forces
[International Maritime Industry, 02 June 2005]
Italian classification society Rina and the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) have joined forces to class warships. The two class societies will jointly promote, develop and provide technical and advisory services for naval ships. Warships classed as a result of joint activities will have dual class. The first project for the joint societies is the new aircraft carrier currently under construction for the Indian Navy at Cochin. This project already includes technical assistance from Fincantieri, Italy's major warship builder. "This agreement with IRS builds on our experience with warship classification in Italy, our considerable technical expertise with classing complex passenger and other high-technology vessels, and our already close links with Indian industry.
The agreement benefits IRS through its ability to access our warship experience, benefits the Indian Navy, and benefits RINA by strengthening our platform in this rapidly growing and exciting economy," says Ugo Salerno, CEO of Rina. "The agreement with RINA incorporates the strengths of both RINA and IRS, and is a logical step to synergise the core strengths of the two societies in providing technical services of a high order to their clients globally," says IRS Chairman JC Anand. Rina Industry and IRS have been formally co-operating since November 2004 to provide services in other technological sectors, such as energy production and distribution.

Four Indian naval ships visit South Africa
Indian naval ships visit South Africa
[Xinhua, 02 June 2005]
Two Indian naval ships docked in Durban harbor on Monday and will stay until Thursday as part of India's drive to establish 'bridges of friendship' with countries across the world. South African Navy Warrant Officer Manny Gounden said, "They are here to strengthen the bond of friendship which already exists between the two countries."
"The South African Navy also sends personnel for specialized courses to India," Gounden said. The two vessels in Durban are INS Trishul and INS Aditya. "The INS Trishul is a modern state of the art guided missile frigate, built in Russia, but carries a mix of Indian and Russian weapons," said Gounden. The INS Aditya is one of the Indian Navy's fleet replenishment tankers which provids fuel, logistical supplies and workshop facilities to the fleet when deployed away from home. The ship also carries a light helicopter and was armed with an anti-aircraft gun. Gounden said the two vessels would be open to the public. Two other Indian naval ships, INS Delhi and INS Ganga, are expected to dock in Cape Town harbor from June 9 to June 12.
