A1 In transportation, a first-class vessel. The letter “A” specifies the class in which the hull is scheduled, and the numeral “1” refers to the stores and equipment. In Lloyd’s Register, vessels are rated A1, A2, and so on down. In the American system, the registry descends from A by fractions—A1, A1 1/4, A1 1/2, and so forth.
