Under the terms of this agreement, CEproof can now offer boat builders the option of a "RINA" version of its established RCD management software, CE-Pro™.

The special version of CE-Pro will integrate with RINA's CE-STAB™ suite for stability assessment and its STR-DIP™ package for structural assessment. Users of CE-Pro will be able to automatically transfer essential data from CE-Pro to RINA's software for structural and stability processing to RINA's algorithms. Once the calculations have been completed, control will then be passed back to CE-Pro for completion of the RCD documentation.

The integration is significant for CEproof as it can now offer an attractive package for the quality conscious Italian boat building market. And the market availability extends beyond
Italy since RINA has a large and expanding customer base worldwide.

Tim Rowe, Managing Director of CEproof said, "We are delighted to be integrating RINA's software with CE-Pro. We now have a package that provides all the RCD support that a RINA
customer needs. With it users can efficiently provide the highest quality technical data to RINA in the shortest time possible."

Paolo Moretti, Business Area Manager for Yacht at RINA, added, "We consider this cooperation as a valuable opportunity to convey RINA expertise to our current and new customers."
