Our Journey
A Story of Commitment and Maritime Excellence
We are not the biggest name in the industry. But we are one of the most committed, and that has always been enough to keep us moving forward.
IMR was founded after a close study of the global marine market, which showed a clear need for a classification society built on real technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and a genuine focus on clients. Since 2011, we have operated as a Recognized Organization, authorized by the Panama Maritime Authority, serving vessels worldwide. Over the years, we have built a reputation for reliability, accuracy, and prompt service, earning the trust of shipowners and operators across the industry. Quality guides everything we do. Every survey, certificate, and assessment reflects our commitment to consistent, professional service. Our team is made up of experienced professionals with years of hands-on experience in ship statutory surveys, certification, and classification. Looking ahead, we remain focused on growth and improvement, while staying true to the values that have guided us from the start: quality, expertise, and a client-first approach.

CEO Message
Leading Maritime Excellence
“The maritime industry is in constant motion, shaped by changing regulations, growing environmental priorities, and rapid technological progress. In my view, a classification society today must do more than verify compliance. It should offer reliable guidance and practical solutions that help vessels operate more safely and efficiently.
At IMR Class, we remain committed to technical competence, prompt support, and professional service that brings real value to shipowners, operators, and shipyards around the world. By embracing innovation and expanding our global reach, we aim to make a meaningful contribution to the future of shipping, while upholding the highest standards of quality and integrity.
