INDIAN Register of Shipping (IRS) has expanded its footprint in Southeast Asia (SEA) and has entered the Philippine market.
IRS, one of the leading classification societies, said seeking Recognized Organization (RO) status from key maritime flags is part of its strategy to expand its presence around the world. An office has been established in Manila which will be followed by the deployment of a surveyor at a later stage.
