DNV GL has published this year’s third issue of Maritime Impact magazine which covers innovation and technology trends in shipping and features outstanding projects with industry partners.
The theme of the issue is: ‘You never sail alone’. “The maritime industry is currently going through many changes. But there is one thing that does not change, and that is the importance of building relationships and supporting our customers,” says Knut Ørbeck Nilssen CEO of DNV GL – Maritime.
“In this issue we look at a great range of different projects from innovative vessel designs and retrofits through to digital solutions for the maritime industry. We also have set a special focus on the development and implications of the new DNV GL rule set, which enters into force on 1 January 2016.”
