Classification societies
|
|
Classification societiesClassification societies are institutions (often non-profit) which inspect, study and report on the seaworthiness and the general and particular condition of individual ships. They also often perform port state control inspections. Finally, they may provide surveying services to national maritime administrations by contract with the governments of those countries.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Report
1) Legislation. A statement made by a committee to a legislative assembly, of facts of which they were charged to inquire. 2) Practice. A certificate to the court made by a master in chancery, commissioner or other person appointed by the court, of the facts or matters to be ascertained by him, or of something of which it is his duty to inform the court.
Seaworthiness
A basic theme in maritime law, referring to the obligation of shipowners and carriers (supra) to provide a vessel and crew fit to confront the perils of the sea. In the carriage of goods by sea, under art. 3(1) of the Hague and Hague/Visby Rules (supra), the carrier must exercise "due diligence" before and at the beginning of the voyage " (a) to make the ship seaworthy; (b) to properly man, equip and supply the ship; and (c) to make the holds, refrigerating and cool chambers, and all other parts of the ship in which goods are carried, fit and safe for their reception, carriage and preservation". Although less demanding than the absolute duty of seaworthiness of the former common law, which applied at all times and at all stages of the voyage, the due diligence obligation has been held to be an overriding obligation on the carrier.
General
1) A principal officer, particularly in the army. 2) Something opposed to special; as, a general verdict, the general issue, which expressions are used in contradistinction to special verdict, special issue. 3) Principal, as the general post office. 4) Not select, as a general ship. 5) Not particular, as a general custom. 5) Not limited, as general jurisdiction. 7) This word is sometimes annexed or prefixed to other words to express or limit the extent of their signification; as Attorney General, Solicitor General, the General Assembly.
Condition
Persons. The situation in civil society which creates certain relations between the individual, to whom it is applied, and one or more others, from which mutual rights and obligations arise.

In this sense, the state means the whole people united into one body politic; and the state, and the people of the state, are equivalent expressions. 2) Condition of persons. This word has various acceptations. If we inquire into its origin, it will be found to come from the Latin status, which is derived from the verb stare, sto, whence has been made statio, which signifies the place where a person is located, stat, to fulfil the obligations which are imposed upon him.
National
National or public domain. All the property which belongs to the state is comprehended under the name of national or public domain.
