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 oiltankers 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 accumulate competence and understanding of the tanker business.

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 certification services also cover these elements. I

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 standards for operation of tankers and cargo handling simulators, and associated formal classification. DNV is offering a range of training courses which may be performed for yard personnel, owners’ site teams and owners’ superintendents, on board personnel and others, to strengthen their general competence, improve co-operation between owners and DNV.

Choose DNV because … 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 expertise, 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!

Choose DNV because … we have the software Software for designers, yards and manufacturers

DNV was one of the first class societies to develop advanced software for direct calculations 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 calculations, 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 structural strength assessment, including fatigue. Nauticus Early Design combines the calculation

features of a CAE system with the design features of a CAD (Computer Aided Design) system helping yards and designers to effectively identify right dimensions and scantlings at an early stage and thus quickly prepare for final design.

DNV Exchange – owners’ communication and information tool for easy access to DNV, including updated class status

Nauticus Machinery is a calculation package for rotating machinery helping manufacturers to correctly dimension the machinery components. It includes calculations like gear faceload, gear rating, shaft fatigue, crankshaft fatigue, shaft alignment, and torsional vibrations. Software for owners

Recognising DNV as a reputable software developer some owners a few years back challenged us to develop an effective tool for their newbuilding site teams. Shortage of competent 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.

Ask DNV about … tanker operations in cold climate I

DNV’s class Rules have included requirements for ice strengthening for more than 125 years. Our current Rules are based on long Norwegian cold climate shipping history,

extensive operational experience from modern shipping in cold climate areas and significant R&D activities during the last decades. I

This is the basis for our leading position as classification society for tankers built for

operations in cold climate. Almost 400 DNV

I

Additional class notations applicable for different cold climate conditions, depending on where the vessels are intended to be trading have been developed by DNV. The degree of necessary winterization may vary from just control of icing in open water to ice-breaking abilities in temperatures down to –40oC and below. DNV has additional class notations covering the whole range of alternatives, and we have also incorporated the Rules issued by the Finnish and Swedish authorities (FMA) in our Baltic Rules.

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

DAT (-xx) – Standard for low temperature materials DEICE – Standard for icing control OPP-F – Oil Pollution Prevention for Fuel oil thanks CLEAN – Controlling and limiting operational emissions and discharges

RPS – Fully Redundant Propulsion WINTERIZED BASIC – Standard for operation in open water with small quantity of ice WINTERIZED – For operation in medium cold climate conditions with ice
