I DNV is the leading class society for oil
tankers with major market shares. In GT
terms some 25% of the oil tanker eet is
classed to DNV. The accumulated DNV
orderbook for oil tanker accounts for 272
vessels, corresponding to 17,8 mill GT (as of
2007.05.02), which is estimated to 28% of
the total orderbook. The DNV classed
tanker eet includes more than 1258 oil-
tankers ranging form the biggest tanker in
the world, the T/T Knock Nevis, 564 650
tdw, to the smallest ones.
DNV has had a unique opportunity to accu-
mulate competence and understanding of
the tanker business.
I Passing the charterers vetting process is
a major challenge for tanker owners.
Quality, DNV Maritimes priority number
one, is therefore in line with tanker owners
needs. We believe our focus on quality is
contributing to the fact that DNV classed
eet of vessels consistently has received
top ranking among the Port State Control
regimes around the world.
I Management and management systems,
essential for successful vetting for tanker
owners, now also include important elements
such as International Safety Management
Code (ISM/IMO) and Tanker Management
and Self Assessment (TMSA/OCIMF) where
best practice and continuous improvement
are incorporated. Our support to tanker
owners include formal ISM certication,
training of personnel as introduction to
implementation of TMSA and informal
independent evaluation of own assessment.
TMSA includes Risk Assessment and ISO
14000 certication. Our advisory and certi-
cation services also cover these elements.
I The human factor is a key link in the
safety and quality chain for tankers. DNV
now also are able to support owners in this
area. Our SeaSkill include competence stan-
dards for operation of tankers and cargo
handling simulators, and associated formal
classication.
I DNV is offering a range of training courses
which may be performed for yard person-
nel, owners site teams and owners superin-
tendents, on board personnel and others,
to strengthen their general competence,
improve co-operation between owners and
DNV.

DNV offers specialised Hull Advisory Services Hull Inspection Manuals provide best practice
for inspections and maintenance
The shipping industry at large, and the tanker
segment in particular experience increased
focus on hull integrity for safety reasons and
cost efciency. Continuous control of a ships
hull condition creates business advantages to
ship operators and owners. DNVs Hull Integrity
Manage-ment is a practical concept developed
over six years with a proven track record.
For ship ofcers and on-board crew
Based on DNVs knowledge and hull expert-
ise, Hull Integrity Management empowers
the ships crew. It teaches them where to look
and what to look for during regular on-board
inspections. Hull Integrity Management helps
in early detection of defects and to deal with
problems while they are small!
For the technical staff
Be in control of the ships condition with
Hull Integrity Management; dont leave things
to chance. Charterers recognize better main-
tained vessels, overall maintenance costs drop,
accident risk is reduced and compliance with
regulations and standards is easier to achieve.
DNVs unique hull expertise and procedures
for planning and follow-up of inspections are
combined with new easy-to-use Nauticus tools.
This represents the proven innovation of
DNVs Hull Integrity Management!

Software for designers, yards and
manufacturers
DNV was one of the rst class societies to
develop advanced software for direct calcula-
tions of a ships structural strength. Ever since
we have been in the forefront providing yards
and designers with software meeting their
needs for rule checking and direct calcula-
tions, ensuring a safe and sound ship design.
Nauticus Hull is a CAE (Computer Aided
Engineering) system helping yards and
designers to verify compliance with strength
requirements, including features for rule
checking, wave induced motions and loads,
nite element calculations, and nal structur-
al strength assessment, including fatigue.
Nauticus Early Design combines the calculation
features of a CAE system with the design fea-
tures of a CAD (Computer Aided Design) sys-
tem helping yards and designers to effectively
identify right dimensions and scantlings at an
early stage and thus quickly prepare for nal
design.
Nauticus Machinery is a calculation package
for rotating machinery helping manufacturers
to correctly dimension the machinery compo-
nents. It includes calculations like gear face-
load, gear rating, shaft fatigue, crankshaft
fatigue, shaft alignment, and torsional vibra-
tions.
Software for owners
Recognising DNV as a reputable software
developer some owners a few years back chal-
lenged us to develop an effective tool for their
newbuilding site teams. Shortage of compe-
tent resources and professional tools were
their driving forces.
Today many owners benet from Nauticus
Construction being the result of this exercise.
With its simple and user-friendly design it has
become a practical, though powerful tool,
matching site teams needs to manage their
inspection processes and track follow-up of
outstanding items.
A signicant bonus is that Nauticus
Construction keeps team members updated on
the status of the project and a lot of time has
been saved on progress reporting back to
owners home ofce.

I DNVs class Rules have included require-
ments for ice strengthening for more than
125 years. Our current Rules are based on
long Norwegian cold climate shipping history,
extensive operational experience from
modern shipping in cold climate areas and
signicant R&D activities during the last
decades.
I This is the basis for our leading position as
classication society for tankers built for
operations in cold climate. Almost 400 DNV
classed tankers are ice strengthened. Ship
operations in cold climate require much
more than just ice strengthening of the ships
structure and propeller. Based on our unique
accumulated knowledge of cold climate
operations, we have developed a range of
technical standards relevant for safety and
reliability under such conditions.
I Additional class notations applicable for dif-
ferent cold climate conditions, depending
on where the vessels are intended to be
trading have been developed by DNV. The
degree of necessary winterization may vary
from just control of icing in open water to
ice-breaking abilities in temperatures down
to 40
o
C and below. DNV has additional
class notations covering the whole range of
alternatives, and we have also incorporated
the Rules issued by the Finnish and Swedish
authorities (FMA) in our Baltic Rules.

In all vessels that may have to steam through ice, the frames
at the extreme forepart are to be closer than here directed, or
some other sufcient additional strengthening of the vessels
forepart must be adopted. Abstract from DNVs Rules and Regulations, November 1881

I DNV has a long history as technology leader
and industry support. With an extensive
range of strong in-house resources, including
state-of-the-art laboratories we have been
able to participate in the forefront of tech-
nology development and new designs.
I Throughout the history manufacturers,
designers, yards, owners and others have
beneted from co-operation with DNV dur-
ing the development stage of projects. Our
unique array of competence and resources
are continuously supporting new projects.
I Tankers may comply perfectly well with all
applicable rules and regulations and still
not meet owners and charterers expecta-
tions. Based on our long history of commu-
nication with all players in the tanker com-
munity and our technological prole, DNV
is able to advise on t for purpose. At an
early stage, before contract is signed for a
new ship, the time is best for possible modi-
cations of drawings and specications to
ensure compliance with all applicable
requirements, but beyond that to make sys-
tematic efforts to avoid surprises later in the
project with respect to charterers and own-
ers own expectations to the vessel, e.g. cargo
exibility, corrosion protection, fatigue stan-
dard of structure, capacities, suitable ice
class and arrangements for ship operations
in cold climate areas, etc. DNV has the know-
ledge and experience relevant as input to
yards, designers and owners in such cases,
and we are pleased to offer our advice.
I Our Customer Service Management (CSM)
concept was established years ago to make
it easy for our clients to have access to DNV
and our world wide resources. Survey plan-
ning is one example where our Customer
Service Managers can support our clients
to identify the most suitable timing for a
survey, and plan the practicalities involved.
Optimum timing and good planning of sur-
veys are key elements to minimize expenses
and ensure high quality of surveys. Our CSM
concept is an effective contribution to the
fact that DNV over the years consistently has
had a record among world wide Port State
Control regimes as top notch performer
among class societies when it comes to port
state detentions.
