On Tuesday we launch Vessel Class Finder: a free lookup and API for the IACS Vessels in Class data. You enter an IMO number and get the classification society, class status (in class, suspended, withdrawn), survey dates and why the status last changed. IACS only publishes this as a ZIP/CSV download.
Two questions for anyone in chartering, vetting, KYC or marine insurance:
When you check a vessel's class today, where do you look and how long does it take?
A free lookup and JSON API for the IACS Vessels in Class dataset. Enter a ship's IMO number to see its classification society, class status (in class, suspended or withdrawn), last and next survey dates, and why its status last changed. IACS only publishes this as a ZIP/CSV download; we refresh it weekly. Check up to 100 ships per request, or ask Claude directly through our MCP connector. Free: 100 lookups/month, paid plans from $49.
