Withdrawal of Services
In November 2012, following action by the China Classification Society (CCS), all members of IACS had ended Iran-related certification work. A targeted campaign by United Against Nuclear Iran led CCS and other IACS classification societies to exit Iran. Without certification from IACS firms, vessels are largely unable to secure insurance cover or call at international ports.

Famous quotes containing the words withdrawal of, withdrawal and/or services:
“A separation situation is different for adults than it is for children. When we were very young children, a physical separation was interpreted as a violation of our inalienable rights....As we grew older, the withdrawal of love, whether that meant being misunderstood, mislabeled or slighted, became the separation situation we responded to.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning’s greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications.... Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
