DNV GL has opened a new office in Nanjing, China, covering most of the Jiangsu Province and following the Yangtze River upstream to Chongqing and Sichuan. Headed by area manager Chen Keng, DNV GL Central China aims to support business growth in the area and act as center for operations in Central China.
“Central China is home to dozens of shipyards, many industry manufacturers and is therefore one of the most important areas for DNV GL to focus on in China,” said Torgeir Sterri, Vice President and Regional Manager for Greater China at DNV GL. “More expertise and competence in all ship types and offshore units as well as a strong focus on research, technology and innovation enables DNV GL to support the transformation and development of Central China’s maritime industry more effectively.”
The expanded office accommodates all staff from both legacy DNV and legacy GL. Area manager Chen Keng said, “Our customers now have easier access to our services. This puts us in a much better position to support them, strengthen our existing cooperations and generate more business in the area.”
DNV GL noted it has been involved in many advanced newbuilding projects in China, such as 10,000 TEU container ships, 25,000 DWT Duplex chemical tankers, high-end OSVs and multi-purpose dry cargo vessels.
