Leading classification society DNV GL reported a loss for the first half of 2017, amid markets that it says will remain weak until the end of 2018.
Ongoing weakness in the newbuilding market for ships and mobile offshore drilling units reduced income for that side of the business. In addition, DNV GL's share of that market dropped to 20%.
DNV GL's pre-tax loss totalled NOK 26m ($3.3m)
