Russian Maritime Register of Shipping Research and development Research is one of the key components of the RS activity. The RS high performance results are possible due to the wide range of scientific research. Innovation is an indispensable part of the RS research activities, which are the basis for developing new requirements and standards to ensure maritime safety and pollution prevention. Process of improvement and development of RS Rules is coordinated by RS Scientific-and-Technical Council consisting of over 300 leading scientists and specialists of RS, scientific institutes and design bureaus. RS Scientific-and-Technical Council (established in 1914) incorporates 16 specialized sections. www.rs-class.org pobox@rs-class.org
