Hamburg, 1 July 2015 – Today more than 800 customers and stakeholders will receive the new DNV GL rules, as part of an extensive external hearing process before their publication and entry into force. The rules are the signature of the classification society, forming the basis of the organisation and playing an essential role in DNV GL’s work to make the maritime industry safer, smarter and greener.

The merger of DNV and GL brought together a set of competencies, cultures and histories that stretch back 150 years – embodied in the rule sets of the two organisations. The formation of DNV GL represented a unique opportunity to undertake a comprehensive review, update and integration of the rules.
