DNV Maritime Decarbonization and Smart Shipping Centre of Excellence

The shipping industry is navigating an increasingly complex landscape shaped by evolving regulations, technological innovation and rising stakeholder expectations. As a trusted assurance provider, we help customers across the maritime value chain navigate this complexity with solutions that improve performance, accelerate decarbonization and strengthen operational resilience.

At the heart of this is DNV’s Maritime Decarbonization & Smart Shipping Centre of Excellence (CoE), which brings together deep technical expertise across decarbonization, digitalization, autonomy and articifical intelligence (AI). This includes remote operations, AI-enabled decision-making and digital workload redistribution, enabling safer and more efficient operations.

A one-stop solution provider

Established in 2021 and based in Singapore, the CoE accelerates maritime digitalization, decarbonization, smart shipping and auto-remote capabilities across Asia Pacific.

The Centre delivers an integrated suite of services, from vessel-level decarbonization planning and feasibility studies to ESG strategy development, digital systems enablement, and ecosystem readiness for alternative fuels, supporting a technically robust, smart and scalable transition to net-zero and autonomy.

Working with stakeholders across the maritime value chain, including regulators, asset owners, financiers, charterers, ports and technology partners, we help turn industry ambition into scalable solutions that support IMO 2050 and beyond.
