The Story

“The maritime industry offers many challenges and opportunities where I can use my professional knowledge and skills while continuously learning and growing.”

Working at DNV, a leading class in the maritime industry, has provided me with a platform to contribute to safety, quality, and environmental protection. Over the years, I have been involved in reviewing electrical control systems and communication navigation designs for various ships, including bulk carriers, tankers, chemical tankers, container ships, LNG carriers, and offshore platforms.

Facing Challenges with Teamwork

I’ve also participated in approval assessments for additional class notations, such as redundant propulsion, dynamic positioning systems, safe return to port, shore power, and electrical energy storage systems. These experiences have been challenging, but with the support of my professional colleagues and clients, I’ve grown significantly. I am deeply grateful to DNV for providing this valuable opportunity and for fostering a culture where teamwork is recognized as essential.

Looking Ahead: A More Intelligent and Green Future

As the maritime industry continues to evolve, with increasing demands for smarter, greener, and more sustainable solutions, we face new challenges and risks. Digital automation, smart ships, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and clean energy are all shaping the future of shipbuilding. The hybrid technology of marine energy storage, shore power, and wind power is being leveraged to improve ship efficiency and safety while reducing carbon emissions.

My advice is to embrace the future with an open mind. The maritime industry is dynamic and full of opportunities to innovate. With DNV, you will have the platform to make a meaningful contribution to shaping a safer, more sustainable industry. Don’t be afraid to learn, adapt, and grow alongside the company.
