Last year the DNV Hamburg office moved to the city centre of Hamburg. The combined experience and competence of the 50 plus staff at the office is impressive and underlines the DNV shipping competence as well as the closeness to the customers.

This statue of Barbarossa is one of four statues at the corner of Brooks Bridge which is located across the street from the DNV office.
Before his royal election, he was by inheritance Duke of Swabia (1147–1152, as Frederick III). He was the son of Duke Frederick II of the Hohenstaufen dynasty. His mother was Judith, daughter of Henry IX, Duke of Bavaria, from the rival House of Welf, and Frederick therefore descended from Germany's two leading families, making him an acceptable choice for the Empire's prince-electors.
