Delivering the Next Evolution of Class Through Applied Technologyand 24/7 Global Support
The ABS Global Operations Centers (GOCs) provide asset owners and operators with one globally connected model for survey and classification support, engineering and technical services, urgent response and technology-enabled delivery. Through 24/7, follow-the-sun coordination, the GOCs connect ABS expertise across regions to improve responsiveness, reduce operational disruption and keep time-sensitive operations moving.
Keep Operations Moving with Global Coordination
Fleet operations do not stop at the end of the local workday. Compliance deadlines, technical questions, damage incidents and class-related requests can arise at any time, requiring fast, coordinated support across disciplines and regions.
Through a follow-the-sun operating structure, the GOCs function as one globally connected network rather than separate locations or service channels. Work can continue across time zones, connecting clients with the appropriate ABS expertise and providing more consistent, responsive support wherever they operate.Prepare Earlier
How the GOCs Work
Global Support Across the Vessel Lifecycle
Through a globally connected operating model, the GOCs connect clients with ABS survey, engineering and technical expertise, coordinating eligible activities across regions and helping move requests efficiently from planning through completion.
Plan and Execute Surveys
Support for preparing, coordinating and completing eligible survey and class activities.
Manage Class and Asset Transitions
Coordinated support for changes in class status and evolving asset requirements.
Accelerate Technical and Engineering Support
Efficient access to ABS engineering resources for defined technical needs on existing vessels.
Respond to Urgent Situations
Around-the-clock coordination when rapid access to specialized support is critical.
