DNV GL海事业务首席执行官Tor Svensen:回首过去更需展望未来

The new starting point

日前,全球最大船级社及风险和可持续服务知名机构DNV GL在上海隆重举行了DNV成立150周年暨DNV GL营运元年的庆祝活动。在DNV GL海事业务首席执行官Tor Svensen看来,上海是其举行活动的最佳选择。

DNV GL is the world's leading ship and offshore classification society. Recently, the celebration of DNV GL Year One and DNV 150 Years was held in Shanghai. DNV's relationship with China has a long history. As early as 1888, offices were set up in China and Shanghai is the headquarters of the greater China region of DNV. According to the view point of DNV GL's executives, the Chinese government has made the grand blueprint for the sustainable development of society. What's more, China has taken a solid pace in the transformation of the mode of economic development and made remarkable efforts to develop green economy, which fits with the idea that DNV has stick to for more than one hundred years. DNV's purpose is to safeguard life, property, and the environment. The newly formed DNV GL Group became operational on September 12, 2013 after a long courtship that included numerous relationship-building advances and discussions about co-operation and mergers that took place in 1986, 2000 and again in 2006. Changes in ownership and strategic alignment between the two companies and their leadership provided new opportunities, and the merger was finally successful. Today DNV GL is well positioned as a global player within the maritime, oil and gas, and energy industries as well as food and health care to meet new challenges while balancing the needs of business and society.
