Remote working

Travel restrictions and lockdowns around the world threatened to derail both newbuild projects and planned inspections of our customers’ existing assets. To avoid delays and risk impacting safety and carbon reduction plans, DNV conducted a variety of inspections remotely.

Maritime saw a 33% increase in remote surveys, conducting over 20,000 last year. Energy conducted more than twenty remote inspections on wind farm projects with a cumulative capacity of over 500 MW in the US, Poland, China, Sweden and the UK. Remote inspections and surveys are tailored to suit each project, but we were able to draw on experiences across sectors to offer this service quickly as travel restrictions took place. In addition, Business Assurance were able to conduct 40% of all customer audits remotely.
