Certification

Unit certificates are raised per project to the classification society the work requires: ABS, DNV, BV, LR and others on application.

Send the opening dimensions, the type and the classification society, and we will come back with a quotation.

Hatches and manholes already in service can be stripped, blasted, repainted and re-gasketed to restore the seal.
