SVK
A classification society establishes and maintains technical standards for ship construction and operation, validates that construction meets the standards, and conducts regular surveys to ensure compliance. Every country has its own national classification society except Sweden. A Swedish Classification Society (SVK) could be established in Gothenburg, which has the largest port in the Nordic countries and Chalmers University provides maritime education. Sweden is seen as a neutral country with low corruption and not part of NATO, which could be beneficial for marketing an SVK. The document proposes that the Swedish shipping company SP could help build a 500 million SEK Swedish classification society in Gothenburg, as it has experience creating leading brands in other sectors.
