SFI Technical Coding Solution | Streamlined Coding for Maritime Operations
Technical and financial information, classified.
Originally developed by the Ship Research Institute of Norway and now owned and maintained by SpecTec, the SFI Technical Coding Solution is the most widely adopted classification standard in maritime asset management.
Used by shipping and offshore companies, shipyards, consultancies, software providers, authorities and classification societies, the SFI coding system provides a structured method for organising technical and financial information. It defines the main and sub-functions required to operate a vessel safely and efficiently, creating a consistent framework across fleets and organisations.
On-board & Ashore
Across the maritime industry, the SFI Code enables standardised, well-structured data throughout vessel and shore operations.
By aligning technical, maintenance, procurement and financial information within a common coding structure, it improves internal communication and simplifies collaboration with third parties, shipyards, suppliers and classification bodies.
