DNV creates Alternative Fuels expert team in China
DNV has launched a Shanghai-based Gas Carrier and Alternative Fuels Expert Team to support key stakeholders amid strong growth in two thriving markets in China: large gas carriers and alternative-fuel new buildings.
China’s shipbuilding industry has made great progress in recent years, scaling up its value chains to more advanced and complex vessels, including the construction of environmentally friendlier alternative fuelled ships and a growing number of LNG carriers.
The DNV Gas Carrier and Alternative Fuels Expert Team, which consists of nine experts, will be led by Torill Osberg, who has over 25 years of experience in the gas carrier and alternative fuels sectors. She was heavily involved in the early developments of LNG as a fuel and, as an approval coordinator, approved the world’s first LNG-fuelled ships. She also was responsible for the development of DNV’s first rules for gas as a ship fuel and, since 2004, has advised Norway on the development of the IGF Code in IMO.
Located in DNV’s Shanghai Office, the team’s collective experience covers gas carriers and alternative fuels competence in ship arrangements, piping, fire safety, electrical/ control systems, and structure disciplines.
