IRClass Launches Indigenous Central Knowledge Engine for Fast-Tracked Ship Design and Surveys
Advancing the digital transformation of South Asia's maritime sector, the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS/IRClass) has officially launched NEURON, an advanced, in-house developed knowledge and regulatory platform. The smart digital database is designed to act as a centralized, high-speed terminal for maritime professionals to instantly navigate and retrieve complex class rules, engineering notes, operational guidelines, and statutory publications.
