n DNV is the leading class society for oil
tankers with major market shares. In GT
terms some 25% of the oil tanker fleet is
classed to DNV. The accumulated DNV
orderbook for oil tanker accounts for 272
vessels, corresponding to 17,8 mill GT (as of
2007.05.02), which is estimated to 28% of
the total orderbook. The DNV classed
tanker fleet includes more than 1258 oil-
tankers ranging form the biggest tanker in
the world, the T/T Knock Nevis, 564 650
tdw, to the smallest ones.
DNV has had a unique opportunity to accu-
mulate competence and understanding of
the tanker business.
n Passing the charterers’ vetting process is
a major challenge for tanker owners.
Quality, DNV Maritime’s priority number
one, is therefore in line with tanker owners’
needs. We believe our focus on quality is
contributing to the fact that DNV classed
fleet of vessels consistently has received
top ranking among the Port State Control
regimes around the world.

owners, now also include important elements
such as International Safety Management
Code (ISM/IMO) and Tanker Management
and Self Assessment (TMSA/OCIMF) where
best practice and continuous improvement
are incorporated. Our support to tanker
owners include formal ISM certification,
training of personnel as introduction to
implementation of TMSA and informal
independent evaluation of own assessment.
TMSA includes Risk Assessment and ISO
14000 certification. Our advisory and certifi-
cation services also cover these elements.
n The human factor is a key link in the
safety and quality chain for tankers. DNV
now also are able to support owners in this
area. Our SeaSkill include competence stan-
dards for operation of tankers and cargo
handling simulators, and associated formal
classification.
n DNV is offering a range of training courses
which may be performed for yard person-
nel, owners’ site teams and owners’ superin-
tendents, on board personnel and others,
to strengthen their general competence,
improve co-operation between owners and

we help you to stay in control
and create business advantage
The shipping industry at large, and the tanker
segment in particular experience increased
focus on hull integrity – for safety reasons and
cost efficiency. Continuous control of a ship’s
hull condition creates business advantages to
ship operators and owners. DNV’s Hull Integrity
Manage-ment is a practical concept developed
over six years with a proven track record.
For ship officers and on-board crew
Based on DNV’s knowledge and hull expert-
ise, Hull Integrity Management empowers
the ship’s crew. It teaches them where to look
and what to look for during regular on-board
inspections. Hull Integrity Management helps
in early detection of defects and to deal with
problems while they are small!
For the technical staff
Be in control of the ship’s condition with
Hull Integrity Management; don’t leave things
to chance. Charterers recognize better main-
tained vessels, overall maintenance costs drop,
accident risk is reduced and compliance with
regulations and standards is easier to achieve.
DNV’s unique hull expertise and procedures
for planning and follow-up of inspections are
combined with new easy-to-use Nauticus tools.
This represents the proven innovation of
DNV’s Hull Integrity Management!

Software for designers, yards and
manufacturers
DNV was one of the first class societies to
develop advanced software for direct calcula-
tions of a ship’s structural strength. Ever since
we have been in the forefront providing yards
and designers with software meeting their
needs for rule checking and direct calcula-
tions, ensuring a safe and sound ship design.
Nauticus Hull is a CAE (Computer Aided
Engineering) system helping yards and
designers to verify compliance with strength
requirements, including features for rule
checking, wave induced motions and loads,
finite element calculations, and final structur-
al strength assessment, including fatigue.
Nauticus Early Design combines the calculation
features of a CAE system with the design fea-
tures of a CAD (Computer Aided Design) sys-
tem helping yards and designers to effectively
identify right dimensions and scantlings at an
early stage and thus quickly prepare for final
design.

Nauticus Machinery is a calculation package
for rotating machinery helping manufacturers
to correctly dimension the machinery compo-
nents. It includes calculations like gear face-
load, gear rating, shaft fatigue, crankshaft
fatigue, shaft alignment, and torsional vibra-
tions.
Software for owners
Recognising DNV as a reputable software
developer some owners a few years back chal-
lenged us to develop an effective tool for their
newbuilding site teams. Shortage of compe-
tent resources and professional tools were
their driving forces.
Today many owners benefit from Nauticus
Construction being the result of this exercise.
With its simple and user-friendly design it has
become a practical, though powerful tool,
matching site teams’ needs to manage their
inspection processes and track follow-up of
outstanding items.
A significant bonus is that Nauticus
Construction keeps team members updated on
the status of the project and a lot of time has
been saved on progress reporting back to
owners’ home office.

classed tankers are ice strengthened. Ship
operations in cold climate require much
more than just ice strengthening of the ships’
structure and propeller. Based on our unique
accumulated knowledge of cold climate
operations, we have developed a range of
technical standards relevant for safety and
reliability under such conditions.

“In all vessels that may have to steam through ice, the frames
at the extreme forepart are to be closer than here directed, or
some other sufficient additional strengthening of the vessel’s
forepart must be adopted.” Abstract from DNV’s Rules and Regulations, November 1881

is able to advise on “fit for purpose”. At an
early stage, before contract is signed for a

n Our Customer Service Management (CSM)
concept was established years ago to make
it easy for our clients to have access to DNV
and our world wide resources. Survey plan-
ning is one example where our Customer
Service Managers can support our clients
to identify the most suitable timing for a
survey, and plan the practicalities involved.
Optimum timing and good planning of sur-
veys are key elements to minimize expenses
and ensure high quality of surveys. Our CSM
concept is an effective contribution to the
fact that DNV over the years consistently has
had a record among world wide Port State
Control regimes as top notch performer
among class societies when it comes to port
state detentions.
