Background

DNV GL Noble Denton marine services is a global provider of marine warranty services and has set the industry standard for marine operations and marine assurance activities for the last 50 years. Our collective industry best practice and guidance documentation is referenced and used all over the world. This document includes the harmonized legacy DNV standards and legacy GL Noble Denton guidelines, with the exception of those for MODU/MOU site specific assessment. Where DNV GL Noble Denton marine services is the marine warranty survey (MWS) provider, it should be read in conjunction with DNVGL-SE-0080 Noble Denton marine services - marine warranty survey, which provides a description of the process used by DNV GL Noble Denton marine services when providing MWS services to evaluate whether a marine operation can be accepted for the purposes of insurance-related MWS. It addresses both 'project' and MODU/MOU related MWS. This document may be used in its complete form using the relevant sections based on the asset type and/or operation.
