The five-ship quality assurance and risk management companies are South Korea's Korean Register of Shipping, American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyd's Register of Shipping of Britain, Bureau Veritas of France, and Norway's Det Norske Veritas.
The five research institutes in DSME's list are South Korea's KRISO, Italy's CNR, Norway's SINTEF Ocean, Sweden's SSPA, and Germany's HSVA.
