DNV GL releases the new issue of Cruise Update magazine
In conjunction with Seatrade Cruise Global, DNV GL has published the classification society’s latest Cruise Update magazine. It features outstanding projects with customers, interviews with industry leaders, and technology trends in the cruise sector.
“The cruise industry promises to set new records once again this year, growing at an unprecedented rate, with many new vessels being commissioned or planned,” says Hans Eivind Siewers, Segment Director Passenger Ships and Ro-Ro at DNV GL – Maritime. “As we see it, three factors will determine the future success of our industry: innovation, safety and environmental performance. As a leading classification society for the cruise industry, DNV GL remains committed to supporting this sector by encouraging innovation, driving safety, and accounting for future environmental requirements, whether they are driven by regulations or the market.”
