The U.S. Coast Guard’s prestigious QUALSHIP 21 program will
host vessels from the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) as one
participant in the program.
The program is designed to recognize ships that must meet
demanding quality and safety standards.
QUALSHIP 21 enrollment has been achieved by only 10
percent of international vessels arriving at U.S. ports, including granting
Bahri particular benefits of less governance which would allow for fewer delays
and speedier delivery of supplies.
Bahri’s involvement in the program is
credible for three years and will serve to better its market credibility.
