Amid intensifying market competition, expanding into new application domains has become a crucial driver for Hope Deepblue A/C’s high-quality development. Marine applications such as ships and drilling platforms demand high product safety and reliability with clearly defined market barriers, representing key areas with significant potential yet requiring deeper exploration. To accelerate entry into the marine market and enhance relevant qualification frameworks, Deepblue has initiated the classification certification process with China Classification Society (CCS).

CCS certification is a widely recognized authoritative certification system in the shipbuilding and offshore engineering sectors. It not only serves as a prerequisite for product compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards but also functions as a vital credential for enterprises seeking entry into high-end offshore application markets. Obtaining CCS certification enables systematic validation of a product's comprehensive capabilities in safety, reliability, and technical maturity, providing authoritative endorsement for its application in marine engineering scenarios. Concurrently, key target clients (such as CNOOC Group) have mandated CCS certification as a fundamental requirement for supplier qualification. Products lacking this certification cannot be included in their procurement systems.

Obtaining CCS certification will significantly enhance client trust, creating a distinct competitive advantage in project bidding and market competition. This lays a solid foundation for the company to further expand its business in the marine and offshore engineering sectors. In accordance with classification certification requirements, the company has formally initiated certification advancement efforts, treating this as a critical specialized task for expanding the offshore application market. Centering on certification specifications and technical standards, the company has organized multiple rounds of specialized meetings and internal reviews. This involves systematically organizing and comprehensively verifying documentation such as product design files, test reports, and quality management system records, supplementing and refining each item against CCS certification requirements.

Concurrently, relevant departments collaboratively advanced certification preparations, clarifying responsibilities and timelines to ensure orderly progress. Building on this foundation, the company maintained active communication with CCS certification authorities to promptly confirm technical details and audit priorities. Proactive optimization of solutions for critical issues continuously enhanced documentation completeness and technical compliance, solidifying the groundwork for successful certification completion.
