Offshore Classification

With DNV’s global presence and deep expertise, we help our customers navigate complex technical, regulatory, and operational challenges across all offshore environments, from harsh marine conditions to more benign settings. Our offshore classification services provide a comprehensive framework to ensure the safety, reliability, and performance of offshore assets throughout their lifecycle. 

DNV's classification approach is designed to be flexible and responsive to the full spectrum of offshore operations, including drilling, production, installation and beyond. By working closely with owners, designers, yards, and operators, we help reduce capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX), minimize downtime, and enable more efficient and resilient operations. 

With a presence in key offshore hubs worldwide, we provide local support backed by global experience, ensuring fast response times and tailored solutions. At the same time, we actively support the industry’s evolving priorities, including decarbonization, asset integrity, cost efficiency, and digitalization.
