DNV establishes German Technical Committee

To further its commitment to the German market, DNV has now established a German Technical Committee – the first meeting of which was recently held at DNV’s headquarters.

Prof. Dr. Ing. Stefan Kruger, Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg, is acting as chairman. In his opening address he emphasised that DNV’s newly established technical committee is a signal that DNV is furthering its commitment to the German shipping industry: “The founding of this new committee clearly shows that DNV is giving the German maritime sector a high priority. The new body will serve as an important forum for technical discussions relating to maritime subjects that are key issues for success in our business.”

This sentiment was echoed by DNV’s CEO Miklos Konkoly-Thege, who acknowledged the help from committee members in advising the society on how to further enhance the services it is providing to the industry.
