The London Cruise Centre will offer a coordinated suite of services collaborating with DNV’s technical teams in Europe, North America and Asia to ensure customers benefit from both local support and global knowledge.

“By combining DNV’s global network, deep technical expertise and local insights, the London Cruise Centre is designed to foster collaboration – accelerating innovation while delivering consistent, practical solutions that reduce risk and support long-term value,” said Robert Galinski, DNV’s global business director for cruise.
