Naval architecture is an engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction and repair of marine vehicles. Naval architecture involves basic and applied research, design, development, design evaluation and calculations during all stages of the life of a marine vehicle.

DNV advisory services' team of naval architects and technical management expertise have extensive background from ship-owners, designers, shipyards, classification societies, consulting, offshore engineering and seafaring.

We solve multi-discipline technical challenges in close cooperation with our clients. Understanding our clients, attending to details yet retaining the full perspective is a pre-requisite. Our most important asset is to ensure that our services meet our clients' needs and expectations. We work with the client to find solutions helping to unlock their full potential.

Our team reflects that of a ship-owner's technical office, managing all events in a vessel's lifetime from idea to recycling. We manage a broader range of projects by drawing upon the combined experience and specialist expertise within the entire global DNV organization; ensuring quality deliveries within any type of maritime technology and practices.
