Dutch term

onder klasse (gebouwd)

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime
website voor een scheeps electro bedrijf die bemiddelen in aankoop van schepen

Uitleg van de term in het Nederlands die ik gevonden hebt is als volgt:

ONDER KLASSE GEBOUWD: schip waarbij, door een classificatiebureau, de ontwerpen gekeurd zijn.

VAARWEGKLASSE: a> indeling van vaarwegen, op basis van de maximaal toegelaten scheepsafmetingen. b> indeling van waterwegen of vaargebieden op basis van de voor dergelijke vaargebieden vereiste zeewaardigheid van het schip.

Heeft iemand een idee wat de gangbare term in het Engels is, bij voorbaat dank!

Katja van Hellemond (asker) Nov 24, 2008:
clarification - entire sentence I'm afraid I've caused some confusion by not listing the entire sentence - apologies to all, please find the complete sentence as follows: Voor onze internationale klanten zijn wij altijd op zoek naar splijtbakken, kraanpontons en alle types sleepboten onder klasse.

Ken Cox Nov 24, 2008:
comment On (presumably) native English sites, the common usage appears to be 'built under class supervision' (sometimes abbreviated to 'built under class') and 'built to class xxx' (or 'built to class xxx standards).

in class

-> "Merchant ships are almost always classed by a classification society. These vessels are said to be in class when their hull, structures, machinery, and equipment conform to International Maritime Organization and MARPOL standards. Vessels out of class may be uninsurable and/or not permitted to sail by other agencies."

a ship is built under class

when she is completed and sailing, then the ship is IN class. But when she is under construction or you talk about a ship and her classification you say: she is built under class (f.i. she is built under Lloyd's Register class)

neutral Chris Hopley : sample documents on lr.org would suggest that Ken's contribution is more accurate (e.g. http://url.ie/xlg [PDF])

Katja provided us now with the full sentence. I made just an example sentence in case a certain classification society should be mentioned. I think Katja now has sufficient options with all our answers.
agree Kitty Brussaard : Also with Ken's contribution :-)
