Surveys additionally are just periodic snapshots of the ship’s condition; the quality of the survey is dependent on the qualification and experience of the surveyor.

Thus if the standard of one class is too strict, owners will go elsewhere. There is proliferation of classifications societies and not all of them have the expertise to carry out classification work.
