Norwegian term

klassing

Norwegian to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci shipping
klassing av tanker, rigger (done by a company that cleans tanks and provides maintenance)
klassing og løpende krav

DNV LLoyds and ABS classify ships etc. for offshore onshore,
but what would a maintenance/cleaning company be doing when it is "klassing"?
classification or classing?
No guessing please. I think this is a very specific term in the tanker/offshore/ship sector.
thanks!

svar fra kunden det vanlige ordet i bransjen er klassifisering/classification
...et generelt begrep som brukes i bransjen... vi står ikke for klassifiseringen av riggen/skipet. Vi kan sertifisere tankene....
jeffrey engberg (asker) Jan 22, 2015:
thanks. clumsy wording by the client here... The company is not the one doing the classificaiton, though.
DNV will do that. The company is preparing the tanks for classification, apparently?
Christopher Schröder Jan 22, 2015:
It is classification. They're preparing them for inspection

klassifiseringsklargjøring

Kinda pretentious word for just cleaning, but methinks that's what they are trying to say - and who are we to discount their sentiments?

I think it is classification as part of the survey. "Each classed vessel is subject to a specified programme of periodic surveys after delivery. These are based on a five-year cycle and consist of annual surveys, an intermediate survey and a class renewal/special survey (held every 5 years)."
