Under the presidency of the chairman of the Osaka Shosen Khifiha, a ships’ classification society has been formed in Japan, the formal title of which will be tho Tcikoku Senkyu Kyokai. The organisers have issued a statement from which it is learned that the society has secured the privilege of using all the construction and inspection regulations of Lloyd’s Register of Shipping. It Will also take advantage of the British society’s technical facilities. The working fund now amounts to 220,000 yen, and when the Japanese Department of Communications has issued its formal license the society will commence operations. One of the outstanding benefits to be derived by Japanese shipping from the new registry is the removal of any necessity for the ships to undergo inspection by both ♦ he Department of Communications and Lloyd’s, hitherto a source of considerable inconvenience to owners.
