The basic purpose of the activity of the Polish Register of Shipping S.A. - assistance in ensuring technical safety of ships - is carried out primarily by developing safety standards, and then supervising their implementation during construction and maintenance during the ship's operation.

Compliance with this task requires, among others conducting research work on issues related to the safety of ship's structure.

In PRS, a group of inspectors and scientists systematically involved in solving scientific and research problems creates tools for conducting necessary analyzes and simulations of ship's behavior, its construction and equipment in conditions affecting the safety of an individual.
