This Aberdeen-registered company forms part of the Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore business, whose website describes it as offering ship classification, certification, decarbonisation and digital solutions for maritime and offshore operations. The wider group provides marine classification for newbuild and in-service vessels, statutory certification, materials and equipment certification, and offshore classification services covering drilling units, FLNG, FPSO and FSRU assets, as well as renewables and subsea work. Its own registered UK activity falls under other professional, scientific and technical services, reflecting its role within the Bureau Veritas Group's marine and offshore classification and certification operations rather than as an independent trading business.
