Championing the nation’s bold maritime vision at India Maritime Week 2025

DNV was proud to take part in India Maritime Week 2025, joining major industry players for a week of meaningful conversations, deep insights, and forward-looking collaboration.

Throughout the week, our experts contributed to key discussions shaping India’s pathway to zero-carbon shipping and the transformation of ports into engines of sustainable economic growth. It was energising to exchange perspectives with customers, partners, and industry peers, all of whom share a common ambition: to support India’s maritime sector as it charts a bold trajectory toward a greener and more resilient future.
