ABS signs cooperative agreement with Polish Register

The Houston-based American Bureau of Shipping has signed a cooperative agreement with the Polish Register of Shipping (Polski Rejestr Statkow) that will see the two class societies offering dual class services and exploring other areas of mutual interest.

The two societies said they are looking at sharing software and other joint research and development projects.

ABS has had a long standing presence in Poland, said Christopher J. Wiernicki, president and chief operating officer of ABS. We are currently expanding that presence with the opening of an engineering office and we foresee many opportunities for working more closely with Polish Register in Poland and in the major shipbuilding centers.
