RINA certifies Carnival Maritime

The ISO 14001 and BS OHSAS 18001 certifications include Carnival Maritime’s office in Hamburg and 26 ships in the fleet, including Costa and AIDA ships.

“RINA Services was invaluable to us during the execution of this project. We were confident that they could easily adapt to certify our newest ships as well. We have an integrated fleet that allows us to put sustainability and safety management at the heart of our business,” said Lars Ljoen, managing director, Carnival Maritime.

Initially only ships belonging to Costa Crociere were included in RINA Services scope of work. But this was expanded to include AIDA Cruises ships in order to incorporate best practice across both fleets.

“We are very pleased that we were able to help Carnival Maritime with this project. Not only did it build on our relationship with Carnival Maritime, but it also further supported our strategy to become a hub for marine certification services in Eastern and Western Europe,” said Michele Francioni, CEO, RINA Services.

RINA Group, the parent company of RINA Services, opened a new office in Germany, Hamburg earlier this year to support its German clients with new specialist expertise, including Asset Integrity Management and Technology Qualification.

It has also recently been permitted to certify energy management systems according to the ISO 50001 standard, which makes it easier for organisations to integrate energy management into their business strategy.
