Initially established as a ship classification society to serve the needs of the Italian maritime industry, RINA has evolved significantly over its more than 160 years of operation. For its first 140 years, the organization primarily focused on ensuring the safety and seaworthiness of vessels flying the Italian flag. A pivotal moment in its history came in 1999 when a European Council directive liberalized the ship classification market. In response, the original entity transferred its operational activities to a new entity, RINA S.p.A., transforming it into a competitive, market-driven organization. This strategic shift marked the beginning of a significant diversification of its services beyond the marine sector. Today, RINA is a global provider of a wide array of services across multiple sectors, including Energy, Marine, Certification, Industry, and Real Estate & Infrastructure. The company has expanded its core competencies to encompass testing, inspection, certification (TIC), and engineering consultancy.
