Pushed by strong shipping investments and a world-wide shortage in yard capacity, Russia’s shipping industry is back in business. Accordingly, the demand for classificatory services increases. With its new site-office in Vladivostok classification society Germanischer Lloyd systematically expands its surveyor network.
Guido Försterling, Country Manager Russia at Germanischer Lloyd, is very pleased with this development: “There are important ship yards and steel manufacturers located in the Asian regions of Russia. With our new office we will be able to provide customized support at short notice.” Vladivostok is also an important port for Russia. “Many shipowners are located in the region,” Försterling explains. “Of course, it is a benefit to carry out surveys on their doorsteps.” The new office will cover fleet in service, machinery and components as well as newbuilding surveys. ISM and ISPS audits will also be on offer soon.
The service network in Russia managed by Guido Försterling encompasses offices in St Petersburg, VolgogradKomsomolsk-on-Amur. Another site-office will be opened in Novorossijsk soon. The classification society offers the full range of services for shipowners from newbuilding surveillance to International Safety Management (ISM) and International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) audits. GL is also closely cooperating with the State Marine Technical University of St Petersburg (SMTU), jointly propagating high scientific standards and practical relevance for a first class maritime education.
Germanischer Lloyd is the market leader in the classification of containerships. Every second containership is built according to GL Rules. Devoted to promoting innovation, sustainability and environmental protection, Germanischer Lloyd also covers all other ship types such as tanker, bulker, multi purpose vessels, high speed ferries and cruise ships. The current newbuilding orderbook contains more than 1,600 vessels with 31 Mio GT.
While headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, Germanischer Lloyd has established a global network of 191 offices in 77 countries. 4,100 employees, engineers and other experts, create value for the customers in a consistent manner worldwide. and
