About the industry

The maritime industry is undergoing a deep transformation to meet ambitious climate targets, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. At DNV, we are committed to supporting this transition by delivering trusted insights, technical expertise, and forward-looking research.

As the industry explores a wide range of decarbonization strategies – such as alternative fuels (., ammonia, methanol, LNG, hydrogen), hybrid and electric propulsion, energy efficiency technologies, and carbon capture – our team is at the forefront of developing models, tools, and insights that shape future regulations, operational practices, and DNV services. To reach a comprehensive impact, we work at the intersection of ship design, fuel lifecycle analysis, emissions modelling, and regulatory compliance.

Are you ready to help shape the future of sustainable maritime transport?
