DNV Hits US Milestone

Posted to Maritime Reporter (by on March 7, 2023

In 1898 DNV, a young Norwegian classification society, set up shop in the United States, a ‘one-man-band’ covering the U.S. East Coast. Today the maritime industry and the classification society have grown and evolved mightily. We visit with Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO Maritime, DNV, to discuss his organizations rich history in the U.S. From the birth of the cruise industry in the late 1950s, to collaborative responses to major disasters such as Deepwater Horizon, to the challenges ahead including digitalization, cyber security and energy transition: DNV has been, and will be, in the U.S. every step of the way.
