It was during a press briefing at Posidonia 2016 that both DNV GL’s Group President and CEO Remi Eriksen and their CEO of DNV GL Maritime Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen drove home the message that when it comes to big data in the maritime industry this classification society means business.
For DNV GL, using data in a smarter way has become one of their core strategies for the future.
Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, told the press that in order to reap the benefits from the increased amount of data that is available today, the industry needs to be able to gather it, access it easily and keep it secure.
This is why, he said, the classification society has joined with NYK Line and MAN Diesel & Turbo in a joint development project, to establish a prototype data centre.
The project partners will develop a working prototype of a scalable, common maritime data centre.
The classification society say that they will deliver a major update at SMM Hamburg in September.
