RINA is a private, multinational company headquartered in Genoa, Italy. It was founded in 1861 under the name Registro Italiano Navale (Italian Naval Register).
In 1999, following the enforcement of a 1994 European Council directive regarding the inspection, survey and certification of ships[6] that liberalized the ship classification market, the Registro Italiano Navale transferred all operational activities to RINA S.p.A.,[7] making it the sole, and later, majority shareholder.[8]
Until 1999, RINA worked almost exclusively as a ship classification company. It has since included operations in the following sectors: Energy and Mobility, Marine, Certification, Industry and Real Estate and Infrastructure. The company has also expanded its services in the fields of testing, inspection and certification and engineering consultancy.[9]
