Maritime
Condition Assessment Program (CAP)
ABS Consulting can assist vessel owners in the efficient operation of vessels of varying ages. ABS Consulting is an affiliated company of ABS, one of the world's leading international classification societies. We put our maritime knowledge and expertise for clients with our CAP, a voluntary program that provides a rating for older ships which carry cargo.
CAP is the recognized method for a shipowner to demonstrate the quality and suitability of a vessel for charter. The program provides a charterer with a technical evaluation that determines whether or not an older vessel has been maintained to a standard that should minimize the possibility of a casualty, oil spill, mechanical failure or General Average claim.
The CAP includes a detailed survey of the structure's gaugings and a strength and fatigue engineering analysis as well as extensive testing of the vessel's machinery, equipment and cargo systems. Following the CAP, a rating is assigned to the vessel. A CAP 1 (Very Good) or CAP 2 (Good) rating is required by most charterers.
