DNV GL SWEDEN AB (”DNV GL”)
Germanischer Lloyd (GL) was founded in Hamburg in 1867, out of an urge to achieve transparency. As an independent classification society, GL was created to evaluate the quality of ships and deliver the results to shipowners, merchants, and insurers. The background of the Norwegian branch of Det Norske Veritas (DNV) is similar. The two classification societies merged in 2013. DNV GL is now the leading provider of risk management and quality assurance services to the maritime and energy industries, active in more than 100 countries. DNV GL’s ability to advise on tomorrow’s energy infrastructure in addition to its expertise in creating technical standards for the safety of the world’s shipping fleet makes it a key participant of this Action. This knowledge will form an important link between the maritime and the electricity sectors.
