Direct Access to Technical Experts - or simply DATE

Our DATE service solved more than 500,000 customer requests in the last 5 years. 400 experts around the globe supported by machine learning ensure fastest response rates also to very complex and individual questions.

Electronic certificates

Paper was yesterday! Every 4 minutes we issue an electronic certificate to a customer, more than 350 per day or 130,000 per year. Easy and safe to share with relevant stakeholders, DNV GL e-certificates ensure operations don’t get disrupted by missing documentation.

Smart survey booking

Our smart survey booking concept uses algorithms to identify the “sweet spots” when the maximum number of survey scope items can be combined. Following the recommendations of the so-called Smart Scope, not only means less disturbance to ship and shore operations, the system also recommends a port of call with all estimated costs at hand to make smart decisions.

Remote surveys fleet in service

Introduced in 2018, our remote surveys bring an experienced surveyor to your vessel, without setting a foot on board. By using an online connection or video streaming link, a dedicated surveyor team can support crews anywhere in the world.

Machinery Maintenance Connect

Machinery Maintenance Connect (MMC) is DNV GL’s new remote approach to the machinery planned maintenance system (MPMS). Based on data processed via algorithms, it not only enables an entire fleet to be surveyed at once, but also gives owners much better control over the maintenance regimes of all their vessels.
