GLIS Company Profile

Germanischer Lloyd (GL) was established in 1867 as a Technical

Inspection Organization to ensure an acceptable safety level in ship
design, construction and, through re-surveys, operation. In the course
of time, other survey activities were taken up, such as those related to
power plants, petrochemical plants, industrial goods, offshore
production and processing facilities. Originally, GL had been organized
in the form of a Co-operative Society. In 1889, at the initiative of the
German Government, which, subject to Section 54 of the Society‘s
Statutes valid at the time, had been controlling the Society since 1875,
the present legal form was introduced. As defined by the Society‘s
Statutes, all activities are performed on a non-profit basis.

Governmental Relationships, Authorisations

The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has

nominated Germanischer Lloyd as expert organisation serving
the Government in the fields of marine engineering and
offshore technology. In this context, the Federal Ministry of
Research and Technology has in addition appointed
Germanischer Lloyd ``Project Attendant`` for naval and
offshore technology research and development projects
promoted by the Government.

By Decree of the Energy Department of the United Kingdom of

1974 Germanischer Lloyd was nominated as Certifying
Authority for Offshore installations to be operated in the British
continental shelf sector. A similar authorisation was conferred
to Germanischer

Lloyd by the Dutch Mining Authority responsible for offshore

operations.

By Presidential Decree No.894 of 1978 the Republic of Greece

authorised Germanischer Lloyd as Certifying Authority for
Offshore installations in Greek waters. Germanischer Lloyd‘s
Certificates of Class and Certificates of Fitness for offshore
structures are accepted by the Government of the Arabian
Republic of Egypt, Indonesia, South Africa and others.

For high-pressure gas pipelines, both onshore and offshore the

German Approving Authority (Oberbergamt) has approved
Germanischer Lloyd as expert organisation according to the
Decree on High-Pressure Gas Installations of 1974.
Germanischer Lloyd is acknowledged and authorised by more
than 100 governments worldwide to issue certificates for
pressure vessels and boilers.

GL has been accredited by various Governments and leading

organizations. GL has over 1500 employees with world-wide
network and is acting as an independent technical organization
to ensure and to certify the safety of ships, marine installations,
Offshore and Onshore Oil and Gas installation and terminals and
Engineering projects. Germanischer Lloyd Industrial Services,
