Indian Register of Shipping (IRS), a leading international ship classification society, has further strengthened its global footprint with the establishment of its presence in Brazil to serve the South American maritime market.
Located at Santos, Brazil, the new representation will provide local support to shipowners, ship managers, shipyards, offshore operators and other maritime stakeholders across Brazil and the wider South American region.
To support its growing activities in the region, IRS has deployed Mr. Felipe A. De Sa as Surveyor, enabling prompt and efficient delivery of classification, statutory certification, technical inspection and related marine assurance services.
The establishment of this local presence marks an important milestone in IRS’s international growth strategy and reflects its commitment to providing high-quality services closer to its clients. South America represents an important maritime and offshore market, with significant activities in shipping, port operations, offshore energy and shipbuilding.
Speaking on the occasion, Saikat Roychowdhury, Chief Operating Officer, IRS said: “Strengthening our presence in Brazil reinforces IRS’s commitment to supporting the maritime industry in South America through local presence, technical expertise and responsive service delivery. With a dedicated surveyor based in Santos, we are well positioned to serve our existing and prospective clients across the region and contribute to the safe, sustainable and efficient operation of maritime assets.”
IRS will facilitate closer engagement with regional stakeholders while supporting its expanding portfolio of services, including classification, statutory certification, technical due diligence, marine technical services, digital solutions, sustainability and decarbonisation initiatives.
