At Bulgarian Register of Shipping (BRS), independence is not a formality — it is the foundation of our authority.
We act exclusively as an impartial technical body. All classification and certification decisions are based solely on international regulations, flag state requirements, and our professional judgment.
We do not accept influence from commercial, financial, or operational interests. Our technical decisions are never negotiated.
BRS maintains a clear separation between commercial activities and technical assessment. Our surveyors and auditors operate under strict internal controls designed to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure objective outcomes.
Where independence could be questioned, we step back. Credibility is always valued above short-term business.
This approach safeguards not only our integrity, but also the trust of administrations, shipowners, and the maritime community.
