Korean Register (KR) held an inauguration ceremony for its new Integrated Survey Center (ISC) at the company's headquarters in Busan, Korea, on 28 April as part of KR's commitment to becoming a leading digital classification society.
KR-ISC is an in-house developed digital platform that interactively exchanges data directly between shipping companies and KR to monitor its registered ships around the world at a glance, and to provide more systematic and integrated survey service.
During an emergency, KR-ISC can provide immediate technical support to customers for making key decisions by identifying the ship's condition in real time using images and data sent from the vessel.
In addition, information on Port State Control (PSC) inspection trends, detention cases, and deficiencies of individual ships can also be provided through KR-ISC, contributing to the smooth entry and departure of vessels by supporting real-time PSC responses when needed.
For shipowners, KR-ISC platform provides the survey and audit information of all KR-registered vessels, simultaneously facilitating compliance with environmental regulations, such as the Carbon Intensity Index (CII) while maximizing the efficiency of their ship operations.
“KR-ISC is the result of KR's considerable efforts to build a digitalized survey system as a key element of the society's progress towards becoming an advanced digital classification society,” said LEE Hyungchul, KR Chairman and CEO, during the inauguration ceremony, and added, “The KR-ISC will provide a higher level of survey capability using advanced technology ensuring our clients can continue to operate their ships safely and efficiently.”
