Activities

 

      1. Russian River Register (RRR) performs classification and survey of ships in accordance with the requirements specified in international Agreements of Russian Federation, Guidelines for Classification and Survey of Ships and the Rules specified in p. 2 of Clause 35 of the Code of Inland Water Transport of Russian Federation. The above Rules specify the requirements for the ships listed in p. 3, their components, materials and products when designing, manufacturing, refitting, repairing and constructing. 

    2. The purpose of classification and survey of the ships is the performance of works (rendering services) on evaluation of compliance of ships, materials and products intended for installation onboard the ships, organizations which design, manufacture, modernize, refit and repair the ships as well as products and materials for ships, with the Rules.

    3. The requirements of the Rules are applicable to the ships subject to official registration as well as to the products and materials for the ships except for small craft used for non-for-profit purposes. The requirements of the Rules are also applicable to passenger ships, tankers, pushboats, tugboats, ice breakers and industrial ships of overall length less than 20 m. The requirements of the Rules are not applicable to small craft, pleasure ships, sports sailing ships, military and border-security ships, ships with nuclear power units, floating drill rigs and other floating facilities.    However, the River Register develops and issues corresponding regulations and other standards being part of the Rules for particular types of ships (small craft used for commercial purposes, pleasure and sports sailing ships, ekranoplans etc.) and other floating facilities (pontoon bridges etc.).
