DNV has the highest performance factor among class societies in terms of port state control inspection results, according to figures published by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control.

“It is mainly DNV’s customers, the shipowners, that can be proud as this is a result of their focus on maintenance and safety. Secondly it is a result of good cooperation between ship-owners and class with a common focus on quality,” says Olav Nortun, technical director of DNV Maritime. (Photo: Nina E. Rangøy)

The figures are included in the Paris MOU's annual report for 2006. The data is based on thorough analysis of port state control findings over the past three years.

“Quality throughout the value chain is our main target. Therefore I am pleased to see these figures,” says Olav Nortun, technical director of DNV Maritime.
