Machinery Maintenance Connect (MMC) is DNV GL’s new remote approach to the machinery planned maintenance system (MPMS). Instead of requiring surveyors to travel to each individual vessel and go onboard, machinery data can be processed via algorithms and presented to customers in a digital dashboard – enabling the survey of a complete fleet in one process and unlocking new insights into vessel and fleet performance.

Improved market conditions contributed to DNV GL posting strong financial results in 2019. According to the annual report, revenue grew by 9.7% and earnings more than doubled as a result of continued cost discipline and new digital tools and processes.

During his keynote address at Capital Link’s 14th Annual International Shipping Forum, Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, DNV GL Maritime CEO, spoke about tackling global transformations, calling for industry stakeholders to be open-minded to new opportunities, ways of working and different solutions heading into the new decade.
