The Green Shipping Program (GSP) is a public-private partnership program administered by DNV. The program has over 100 partners and is financed by the Ministry of Climate and Environment (KLD) over the national budget and by the partners.
The Service Center for green fleet renewal is the spearhead for scaling of new solutions in GSP and is part of KLD's initiative to realize green maritime projects. The Service Center is financed by KLD. Through the center, assistance is provided to shipping companies and cargo owners who wish to realize carbon-neutral sea transportation. The Service Center was established in 2020 and has so far assisted 120 green projects.
The Service Center is administered by DNV, and the projects are carried out by DNV's own consultants together with experienced contracted consultants. In total, about 12 people are part of the center's core team. In addition, DNV's expertise from research, consultancy and class in important specialist areas are available. The head of the center is, jointly with the director of GSP, responsible for strategy development, budget and resource prioritization and managing the work of the core team. The position offers great opportunities to contribute to the green shift in the maritime industry and influence the speed and direction of this transition.
The current head of the Service Center is now stepping aside at his own request, and DNV is looking for a replacement. The Head of the Service Center will report to GSP's program director and will be employed in DNV's Maritime Environment Advisory section. The tasks will mainly be linked to GSP, but it is desirable that the candidate also will be involved in selected parts of the sections work outside the Service Center.
