General
Throughout the chapter, the wording another IACS member society has been changed to a recognized classification society.
In Table C1, a new row has been inserted covering the new class
notation SPS.
In Table C5 the new class notation ESV (Enhanced System Verification) has been introduced.
In Table C6, the new class notation COAT-PSPC(V) has been
inserted.
If any person suffers loss or damage which is proved to have been caused by any negligent act or omission of Det Norske Veritas, then Det Norske Veritas shall pay compensation to such person
for his proved direct loss or damage. However, the compensation shall not exceed an amount equal to ten times the fee charged for the service in question, provided that the maximum compensation shall never exceed USD 2 million.
In this provision "Det Norske Veritas" shall mean the Foundation Det Norske Veritas as well as all its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, agents and any other acting on behalf of Det
Norske Veritas.
