DNV and Seatrium collaborate to drive innovation and sustainable product development

DNV has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Seatrium, a leading engineering solutions provider to the offshore and marine industries, to cooperate on strategic activities and projects in the areas of engineering, technology and new product design.
Under the MoU, DNV will provide Seatrium with expert advice on market and regulatory trends, emerging technologies, and best practices for environmental, safety and quality standards, in the maritime and offshore sectors. Both parties will work closely on optimising existing processes and improving efficiencies across newbuilding, conversion and retrofit projects. Collaboration opportunities with other organisations and institutes will also be explored. 
Additionally, the cooperation will leverage DNV and Seatrium’s combined capabilities to drive and support technological and digital advancements in the marine and offshore industries. Key focus areas include floating offshore wind turbines, hydrogen and ammonia production platforms, and next-generation Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units. The collaboration will also draw on DNV’s expertise in the integration of advanced cyber security and digital solutions into Seatrium’s suite of digital services. 
During the ceremony, DNV also awarded two Approval in Principle (AiP) certificates to Seatrium for two new floating offshore wind turbine designs, the FWSS (Floating Wind Semi-Submersible) and SWACH (Small Waterplane Area Cylindrical Hull).
