Lloyd’s Register announced that it classed the first personal, composite submarine, the DeepFlight Super Falcon 3S, in accordance with its Rules for the Construction and Classification of Submersibles and Diving Systems.
LR has applied a goal-based approach using an advanced risk assessment process. Final trials and testing of the first of class unit are expected to have been completed in November 2017.
Following this, the first two Super Falcon 3S submarines will be shipped to the Maldives for the launch of DeepFlight Adventures.
DeepFlight Adventures offer resort guests and tourists underwater flight experiences in the Super Falcon 3S submarines.
Adam Wright, CEO of DeepFlight said: “We are delighted to be working with Lloyd’s Register to class all DeepFlight submarines. We see our work with LR as a great leap forward in allowing us to innovate submarines to open the oceans for personal exploration.”
