Leading Class Through Government Partnerships

For nearly 100 years, ABS has been the official classification organization of the United States and, under U.S. law, the only classification organization authorized to class U.S. Government vessels. There are nearly 200 government-related ABS-classed vessels in the U.S. alone. Today ABS continues to provide leading classification services supporting the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy and other government shipowners in uninterrupted global force projection, law enforcement, research, survey, and logistic operations.
