In an interview with the DNV Forum Magazine, Senior Vice President of Teekay Shipping’s main operations says:

Recently Teekay began a risk-management project with Det Norske Veritas. Teekay’s ability to professionally and transparently manage risk is the key success criterion for the company in maintaining its position as a preferred provider of transportation services.

Teekay views the increased emphasis on environmental protection, personnel safety and improved operational practices in the shipping industry as an opportunity to continually improve the overall integrity of its operations. Ultimately, we also believe that our customer-oriented approach will differentiate us from our competitors, he says.

This approach is being made easier through our work with DNV. We are developing mutually beneficial business models focusing on the application of practical, user-friendly tools. Based on our experience so far, we’re confident that the project work with DNV will help us achieve our goal of becoming the premier tanker shipping company while continuing to provide our customers with the best possible services.
