Classification More Relevant Says DNV GL at Posidonia

1872

In an increasingly complex, fast changing, and challenging market and the role of the classification society was the highlight during the Press conference held ahead of Posidonia trade fair in Athens.

Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL – Maritime, said: “Class enables innovation in ship building, guides owners and operators through a demanding regulatory landscape, and helps the industry tackle cyber-crime”.

Decarbonisation and digitalisation

DNV GL Group President & CEO Remi Eriksen explained that two mega-trends are impacting the maritime industry: decarbonisation and digitalisation.

He said, “The IMO strategy announced last month targets a 50% carbon reduction. This is ambitious but not unachievable. We see some companies leading the way, and more efficient ship designs and better ship utilisation will propel this.”

In terms of digitalisation Eriksen said: “It’s about connecting the hardware with services, with people and with other data streams to build better ways of doing business. And the key to unlocking the value that industrial data holds is trust. We see significant interest and demand for our open industry data platform, Veracity, from the maritime, oil and gas, and energy sectors. It is now closing in on a million service subscriptions from 1,500 different companies.”

Emphasis on technology

In his presentation, Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen said that the shipping market was probably at the bottom of the cycle and looks forward to continuing modest upward growth. As part of this upswing, European yards had experienced a renaissance, on the basis of a strategy to specialise in high technology vessels. DNV GL was working with many of these yards, he said, helping to implement alternative fuels, working to improve energy efficiency and providing insight and technical expertise in high-tech segments, such as cruise, ferries and offshore vessels.

Action plan required

Decarbonising shipping would not impact specific ships in the short term, said Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, but required concrete policy measures and the development of an action plan by IMO.

He further added, “The 50% reduction goal will likely call for a widespread uptake of zero-carbon fuels, in addition to other energy efficiency measures. These fuels are not existing today, and there needs to be a concerted effort towards developing these and making them available in the necessary quantity. In classification, working with the industry to create a safe and sustainable future is at the heart of what we do. We look forward to working closely with the IMO and the wider maritime community to reach this goal.”

Increasing digitisation in the industry came with a host of benefits, including improving environmental performance, said Ørbeck-Nilssen, but there were challenges as well. Cyber-crime needed to be addressed: “We see our industry being more exposed with cyber-attacks migrating from the IT world to operational technology, increasing the risk for shipping. To help the industry to tackle those risks, we have put cyber security high on our agenda”.

Cyber Secure measures

As of July 1, 2018, DNV GL is therefore preparing to publish its first cyber security class notations – Cyber Secure. The notation builds on the DNV GL Recommended Practice on cyber security which provides guidance on how to apply ISO/IEC-27001 and ISA-99/IEC-62443 standards in the maritime industry.

Mr. Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen emphasized the continuing importance of classification said, “Our ways of working may be changing. But the purpose of classification still remains the same to protect life, property and the environment”.

Customer prioritization

Ioannis Chiotopoulos, DNV GL’s Regional Manager South East Europe, Middle East & Africa, looked at the Greek market and how DNV GL was continuing to support local customers and said, “We have implemented a package of measures that have enhanced our services to the local shipping community, boosted response times and strengthened the responsibilities and capabilities in the region”.

He further added, “Our DATE service centre is fully functional, where customers have direct access to technical experts. Additionally, the approval centre in Piraeus offers all fleet in service approvals locally and a chief surveyor who is Greek is available for 24/7 support. The Piraeus office is already one of our great hubs for maritime innovation and we will continue to work cooperatively on projects that tackle the needs of our customers. Finally, we have invested not only in Greece but in making sure that our Greek customers are at home around the globe, by posting experienced Greek speaking engineers to key locations around the world”.
