Classification Compliance Software for Marine Surveys, Certificates and Conditions of Class in One View
Custom classification compliance software for UAE operators tracking class across several societies - DNV, Lloyd's Register, ABS, Bureau Veritas and Tasneef. Built to keep survey windows, certificates of class and conditions of class in one view per vessel, so a survey window does not creep up and an open condition does not lapse into a class suspension. Designed to sit alongside the class society portals, consolidating class status across them rather than replacing the societies' systems.
Why class compliance is spread too thin
Class surveys produce the certificate of class and conditions of class - defects that must be rectified by a deadline - and a missed survey window or an unaddressed condition risks class suspension. With a mixed fleet under DNV, LR, ABS, BV and Tasneef, each with its own portal and survey regime, tracking it all by hand across interfaces means a window or a condition slips.
Class lives across several portals
A mixed fleet sits under different class societies, each with its own portal and survey regime, so a manager checks DNV, then ABS, then Tasneef separately rather than seeing class status across the fleet in one place.
Survey windows creep up
Annual, intermediate, renewal and drydocking surveys each have windows, and tracked in spreadsheets a window creeps up unseen until it is tight, forcing a rushed survey or risking a lapse.
Conditions of class go unaddressed
A condition of class is a defect with a deadline, and without tracking each against its vessel and date, a condition is forgotten until it expires and the class status is in question.
A lapse risks suspension
A missed survey window or an expired condition can put class in question, and a vessel out of class cannot trade or hold its statutory certificates - an immediate commercial stop.
Class status across societies, in one view
Four capability areas designed around keeping a UAE fleet's class surveys, certificates and conditions straight across several societies.
Class status per vessel
Each vessel's class society, survey regime, certificate of class and conditions held in one record, so class status is seen per vessel and across the fleet rather than checked portal by portal.
Survey window tracking
Annual, intermediate, renewal and drydocking windows tracked against each vessel with alerts ahead, so a survey is planned in good time rather than rushed when the window is nearly closed.
Conditions of class
Conditions of class held against the vessel with their deadlines and rectification status, so an open condition is actioned before it expires and class is kept clear. Nothing waits for an audit to surface.
Consolidated across societies
Class status from DNV, LR, ABS, BV and Tasneef brought into one view, connecting to the society portals where possible, so a multi-society fleet is managed in one place rather than across interfaces.
Class spread across society portals lets a window or condition slip. Custom software is the layer that consolidates class status across DNV, LR, ABS, BV and Tasneef into one view.

Talk to us about classification compliance software.
A short call surfaces whether custom class compliance software makes sense for your fleet. Best positioned for UAE operators running a mixed fleet under several class societies. Working with your technical and HSQE leads during discovery, we map how class is tracked today and where windows and conditions slip. If discovery shows your current process is sound, we say so. BY BANKS is an independent software engineering company: we design and build the platform and hand it over, your team operates it. Authority, regulator, classification society and product names on this page are referenced descriptively to describe interoperability and scope, and imply no affiliation, endorsement, certification, or approval.
How classification compliance software works in marine
The detail behind the headline - from class status per vessel and survey window tracking, through conditions of class, to consolidating across societies.
What changes, in practical terms
An open condition of class is actioned before its deadline, so class stays clear rather than being put in question at the worst moment.
The detailed questions UAE operators ask us
Expand each to see how bespoke class compliance software actually works.
What does classification compliance software actually cover?
Who this is for: UAE operators running a mixed fleet under several class societies who want class surveys, certificates and conditions in one view. Less suited to a single vessel under one society where a portal copes.
Four connected capability areas: (1) Class status per vessel. (2) Survey window tracking. (3) Conditions of class. (4) Consolidated across societies.
Does it replace the class society portals?
No. DNV, Lloyd's Register, ABS, Bureau Veritas and Tasneef run their own portals and remain authoritative for surveys, certificates of class and conditions.
The software tracks your vessels against those requirements and holds your own consolidated record, connecting to the portals where possible, so class status is seen across the fleet in one place. It does not replace the societies or the obligation to maintain class.
How is this different from certificate and survey tracking software?
Class compliance is focused on the class society relationship - class surveys, the certificate of class and conditions of class. Certificate and survey tracking is the broader fleet-wide expiry tracker across class, flag and statutory certificates and crew.
They overlap on class surveys and connect, but class compliance is the class-society depth while certificate tracking is the breadth across all expiries. This page is the class-society side.
How does it handle a mixed fleet under different societies?
UAE operators commonly run vessels under DNV, ABS, BV and Tasneef at once, each with its own survey regime.
The software models each vessel with its own society and regime and consolidates status across them, so a multi-society fleet is seen in one view with each vessel tracked on its own rules rather than forced into one template.
Does it keep us in class?
It helps you stay ahead of surveys and conditions and removes much of the risk of a missed window, but class itself is granted and held by the society on the basis of surveys and rectified conditions.
The software tracks, alerts and evidences, so windows are met and conditions actioned, but it does not grant or maintain class - that stays between you and the society. We build the tracking and the proof; holding class remains the operator's duty.
What does this sit alongside in a typical UAE marine stack?
Class compliance sits across the technical operation and the societies.
Class - it connects to DNV, LR, ABS, BV and Tasneef portals.
Operations - it ties to the PMS for maintenance against survey windows and to certificate and survey tracking for the broader expiry picture. Integration approach is scoped during discovery based on what you are already running, and we do not ask you to replace anything that works.
How long to go live, and what does it cost?
Discovery runs two to three weeks. Working with your technical and HSQE leads, we map how class is tracked today, the societies and survey regimes, and where windows and conditions slip. Output is a report covering current-state map, gap analysis, recommended workflow, integration scope and a fixed-price build proposal.
A core build runs from discovery completion, with class status and survey windows first and conditions and society consolidation after. Pricing varies by fleet size, the number of societies and integration scope, so a bracket is not published; discovery produces a fixed-price proposal with no obligation to proceed.
Does it tie maintenance to survey windows?
Maintenance and class surveys are best planned together, since a survey often depends on completed maintenance.
Where built alongside the PMS, the software lines maintenance up with survey windows, so jobs are done in time for the survey and the two do not clash. Class compliance and maintenance reinforce each other.
How each role experiences the change
