Expertise & Services

Sing-Lloyd is able to provide a full suite of services that will be able to help the ship owners , ship managers and other industries players in achieving their goals. Our expertise and services are divided to the various categories, namely

Classification & Statutory Services

The classification and certification of ships has been the "core business" of Sing-Lloyd since the inception of the class.

Since then, Sing-Lloyd has constantly developed technical partnerships in the shipping sector.

These include technological support during the design stage, construction surveillance, project management and technical assistance during building and the maintenance of the ships. The primary objective is to help ship owners and ship managers achieve elevated standards of quality and safety for their prized assets.

Nearly all flag states delegate statutory surveys to selected recognised classification societies. With this authorisation given by flag state administrations, these classification societies act on behalf of the flag state in the survey and issuance of statutory certificates. Sing-Lloyd is also one of the classification societies tasked to perform this certification duty.

Using our wide network of representative offices round the world, Sing-Lloyd is able to establish regular contact with flag state administrations and extends our services to them. We offer technical expertise on classification and statutory areas to flag state administrations to convince the flag state administrations to delegate statutory services to Sing-Lloyd.

Ship and Port Security Services

Our team of specialists can assess risks on Facilities / Installations / Vessels from your projects conception through each stage until completion. We can also assist to implement our findings and/or security at existing locations / assets or on new projects. Our network of Professional Consultants, a collective of specialist Military and Government personnel (Land and Maritime), are ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice.

Sing-Lloyd through our alliances also provides technical assistance and expertise for the development and implementation of ISO 28000. We can offer a range of products from Anti-piracy equipment to Safety & Security Management Systems. Our Services include Crisis Management, Incident Management, Security Audits, Close Protection (Maritime or Land) including Maritime Escort and Vessel Security Background check (VSBC) to name a few.

The requirement for Risk and Security became more evident due to a marked increase in piracy especially in the waters off Somalia and the continued threat of terrorism. Shipping companies need to safeguard their assets. Risk Assessments made in advance of a project and, if required, security measures or personnel put in place during the project can produce considerable financial savings in the long term.

Sing-Lloyd’s alliance’s extensive experience in Risk and Security Management allows for its ease in identifying individual clients’ requirements and producing a suitable solution ensuring absolute customer satisfaction and, above all, peace of mind.
