BureauVeritas is a service company specializing in
BureauVeritas serves more than 200,000 customers from numerous different industries across the world, from small local companies to major multinational corporations.
All of these services are now enhanced by a more integrated approach, which allows us to tackle the most complex and strategic questions, and sometimes even the terms in which the questions are couched.
Part of the explanation for the higher coverage of Sail by BureauVeritas throughout the period and the high total number of all ships in the 1870’s, lies in the 50 net tons criterion for inclusion of sailing ships in BureauVeritas compared with the 100 ton criterion of Lloyd’s for both Sail and Steam.
That may well be a primary explanation for BureauVeritas exceeding Lloyd’s coverage of Sail in later years but not the three to four times greater coverage of total shipping during the 1870’s.
Establishing to what degree this is due to the different criteria (50 tons for BureauVeritas, 100 tons for Lloyd’s) requires access to statistics from each agency, to which I do not currently have access, breaking down the total tonnage into size categories, or else a comparison between sample pages of each register.
