Drydocks World and DNV have entered into a cooperation agreement whereby DNV will provide technical assistance to Drydocks World’s projects, and support the yard with technical expertise in conversion projects, specifically related to enhanced environmental performance of ships, including gas fuelled engines.
DNV has recently unveiled a new concept VLCC with gas-fuelled engines.
"We are happy to co-operate with Drydocks World, which is one of the dominant shipyards in the world handling VLCCs and share some of our technical expertise especially related to fuel and energy efficient engines,” commented Henrik O. Madsen, CEO of DNV, at the signing ceremony in Dubai Wednesday. "LNG fuelled vessels are financially attractive in the long run, less polluting and opens a whole new concept in environment friendly ship technology.”
