DNV GL says further class mergers are ‘not part of the plan’ after name change

DNV GL chief executive Remi Eriksen said the classification society has set out a new growth strategy but that is unlikely to involve further classification acquisitions.

The Oslo-headquartered firm has just announced that from March it will be known simply as DNV, as TradeWinds has reported. The name change removes the reference to German classification society Germanischer Lloyd which it fully acquired in 2018.
