2.2 General on remote surveys
Many surveys may be carried out by remote means, provided that the submitted evidence provides a
level of assurance equivalent to the one obtained during a survey on board. DNV GL reserves the right to
decide upon whether attendance is required, which information is needed and what technology is
required each individual case.
Some surveys can be handled remotely by submitting information like photographs, scans of service
reports, etc. Many surveys will, however, require livestreaming in order to be able to perform them
remotely.

DNV GL uses for the time being an app called OnsightConnect from Librestream. Similar solution may be
considered. When a survey is requested, we will invite you to participate on one of our licenses. This
means that you don’t have to buy a license yourself! It is, however, recommended that you download
the app at a suitable time before the survey.
