Maritime Advisory by DNV

Future-proofing the Port Ecosystem

Ports face complex challenges – from operational bottlenecks and decarbonization to digitalization demands. DNV Maritime Advisory partners with the full port ecosystem – including port authorities, governmental bodies, terminal operators, port state control, energy providers and shipowners – to turn challenges into opportunities.

With deep maritime expertise, advanced modelling tools and data-driven insights, we help stakeholders reduce risk, optimize performance, unlock sustainable growth and accelerate the digital transformation across their operations.

Strategic growth and governance

Ports and authorities face growing pressure to stay competitive, comply with evolving regulations and meet market expectations. We help them tackle these challenges by benchmarking performance, conducting gap assessments and developing tangible road maps. By aligning strategy with policy, we build stakeholder confidence, laying the groundwork for investment and long-term resilience.

Decarbonization made practical

Ports are central to maritime decarbonization – enabling alternative fuels, shore power, carbon capture and green corridors. We help ports manage the complexities of these transitions and take strategic, actionable steps to meet climate goals – both short and long-term.

Safer, risk-ready operations

Through comprehensive safety assessments, navigational analysis and terminal assurance, we help stakeholders minimize operational and bunkering risks, ensuring safe, reliable and compliant operations. Our services include audits for terminal operators and energy providers, based on globally recognized industry standards, to reduce risk, enhance operational practices and give investors transparency and confidence in operational resilience.

Optimized performance, connectivity and digitalization

We provide advisory services that improve logistics, multimodal transport and bunker supply chains, enabling seamless and efficient operations across the port ecosystem. By integrating digital solutions and data-driven insights into operations, we help stakeholders increase efficiency, reduce costs and emissions, and achieve stronger long-term returns.
