Classification of Ships




Classification History
  • Marine insurers needed information on the suitability of a vessel for a voyage to be undertaken.
  • Marine insurers in London met at Lloyd’s Coffee House after 1666.
  • Edward Lloyd distributed Ships Lists, giving brief descriptions of vessels to be offered for insurance
  • In 1760 a Lloyds committee was formed to survey and classify ships.  Lloyd Register Book provided information about ownership, master, characteristics and condition.
  • Condition of hull was classified by letters A,E, I, O, U.  Machinery (when fitted) classified as 1, 2, 3.  Hence the term A1 for first class.
  • In 1834 Lloyds Register of British and Foreign Shipping becomes first independent classification society.
