the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), one of the world's leading ship
classification societies, approved list of control products.

control solutions in our channel.
About ABS: The primary purpose of ABS is to determine the
structural and mechanical fitness of ships and other marine structures
for their intended purpose. It does this through a procedure known as
classification. ABS establishes and administers standards, known
as Rules, for the design, construction, and operational maintenance of
marine vessels and structures.
