LR Marine and Offshore director Nick Brown commented: “Digital Compliance is the framework that sets the foundation for what we call ‘Digital Class’ … [which] is the vision we have, where advanced technology and data-driven techniques will allow our clients to demonstrate compliance with Class requirements in the future, remotely, periodically and/or continuously and we are actively engaging with flags to discuss how we can extend this to statutory aspects.”
