All the vessels will sail under Japanese classification society Class NK. Navis vessel solutions product management head Ajay Bharadwaj was quoted as saying: "Our software engineers collaborated closely with the classification societies in order to secure the implementation of all rules providing by different systems into MACS3 while maintaining the performance of the loading instrument.
