DNV and GL seal merger
It’s third time lucky for class societies DNV and Germanischer Lloyd (GL) as the two sides have finally agreed a merger 12 years after their first attempt at a tie-up.
GL: DNV merger confirmed
Norway’s DNV confirmed market rumours of a deal on Thursday, saying it would hold 63.5% of the new company, which will be the biggest marine classification operation in the world.
GL investor Gunter Herz will own the rest.
No money has changed hands and the shareholdings were negotiated based on the size of the respective organisations, TradeWinds understands.
Henrik Madsen, DNV boss, said: “The merger rests on a strong strategic rationale, and responds to challenges of increased globalisation, rapid technological change and the need for sustainable development.
“Our customers will benefit from an increased service offering and global competence base as well as one of the densest networks.”
GL CEO Erik van der Noordaa said: “The merger with DNV supports our long-term goal of being recognized as one of the most respected technical assurance and advisory companies in the world.”
The combined group will have more than 17,000 staff and offices worldwide, but the headquarters will be at DNV's base outside Oslo in Norway.
Turnover will be around EUR 2.5bn ($3.13bn) and the classed fleet will be 260m gross tons (gt), beating ClassNK into second place with 210m gt.
The transaction requires approval from competition authorities.
Talks were called off between the two sides in 2000 as DNV started to pursue a takeover. Then in 2006, DNV and Bureau Veritas lost out to Herz as he bought GL.
