Nor-Shipping 2025 served as a crucial venue for DNV to strengthen its longstanding partnership with India while exploring new collaboration opportunities within the country’s dynamic maritime sector. Key discussions and announcements highlighted DNV’s commitment to supporting India’s maritime goals, particularly its Maritime India Vision and Make in India initiatives.
DNV Group President and CEO Remi Eriksen participated in a high-level roundtable with India’s Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, emphasizing deepened cooperation. Subsequently, DNV signed a newbuilding classification agreement with Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. for four multi-purpose vessels, showcasing innovative features like hybrid propulsion and advanced cybersecurity measures.
Another significant development was the signing of a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between DNV and Larsen & Toubro, aimed at advancing shipbuilding and digital solutions while supporting the broader India-Norway collaboration on green shipping and decarbonization initiatives. Minister Sonowal deemed this partnership pivotal for India’s maritime transformation.
DNV’s extensive experience in India, spanning over five decades, positions it well to play a vital role in the country’s maritime future, contributing to sustainable and resilient growth across the blue economy.
