KR releases new version of KR-CON (v.19)

Korean Register (KR) has released the latest updated version of KR-CON (v.19), its highly valued portable electronic database, containing almost all the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) instruments in English and Korean.

KR-CON was first developed in 2000 and has been an enormous success with users. Accessible via online website, mobile application, or direct from a USB, KR-CON has been updated continuously to ensure the database program holds the most recent IMO instruments.

The documents can be accessed intuitively by simply touching the screen or clicking on a mouse. The relevant regulations for a specific vessel can be quickly sorted and easily checked, which has made the program particularly valued by flag administrations and maritime industries worldwide for 20 years.KR-CON website
