"Flags of convenience" are the bane of humane & civilized behaviour aboard vessels...

Great video, thanks Nick! I really appreciate you contributions to Maritime education online! If you're ever out in the PNW I'd love to give you a tour of Seattle Maritime Academy and brainstorm about creating cool hands-on stability training exercises for college and high school students.

I belong to Class society, and I totally agreed with you. We are NOT perfect! We simply decide with in the limits of Class Rule and Flag administration interpretations.

Thank you for this video. :-) How much, if any, does this apply to vessels that remain outside the EEZ (200+ nautical miles) permanently, like certain oil platforms?

The class societies specifically have rules for offshore structures, so it definitely applies. There may be some alternatives to class societies, based on your country's national laws. But I'm almost certain that a class society would be required for offshore structures outside the EEZ.

Hi Nick, Hoping you are still planning a comparison of Atlantic proa, Pacific proa, and HarryProa type boats.

Where the springs fly out of the watch mechanism is when you come up with a totally novel design. Like a carbon fibre, hybrid diesel-electric trimaran with lots of batteries. Watch the classification societies meltdown, because they usually just base their "review" on the same type of vessel as yours that they have done previously.

Seems like a good example of a private solution being better than government regulations. While not as clear cut as a government dictate, it seems to serve the industry and individuals much better than any government would.
