DNV invites GL in for talks
OSLO 27 November – Det Norske Veritas, the Norwegian classification society, has invited its German counterpart Germanischer Lloyd into talks over possible closer co-operation between the two societies. “We have contacted GL and invited them for a dialogue in the situation that has arisen following a bid [for GL] from Bureau Veritas,” said Tore Høifødt, senior vice-president and head of DNV corporate communications. “We have indicated an interest for closer co-operation; it is not a bid at this point,” he told Fairplay. Høifødt said the two societies examined possibilities for closer co-operation four years ago “and many findings [from that time] are still valid; we have a lot in common,” he continued. DNV has some concerns over the independence of classification societies if financial investors take a substantial stake in the sector, he added.
