A NEW DIMENSION
IN YACHTING
Riding the waves MARITIME 03
What’s in it for you
The past decade has brought an increasing degree
of sophistication in the design and construction of
sailing and motor yachts. Exciting prospects for yacht
owners, and a big challenge for naval architects and
yards. As yachting has become more competitive
and prestigious, increasing emphasis has been
placed on size, speed, manoeuvrability, overall
performance and passenger comfort. In this more
complex environment, owners not only want value
for money but are also concerned about safety
issues. This is where DNV GL comes in.
Bigger and more sophisticated yachts present a tough
technical challenge to architects and engineers.
DNV GL has the experience and expertise required
to support them in all structural safety matters and,
at the same time, set an owner’s mind at rest. For a
long time now, DNV GL has been examining and
checking the design and construction of sailing and
motor yachts.
The advantages a DNV GL Safety, Construction or
Class certificate brings will be appreciated for many
years after a yacht first takes to the water:
■■ Peace of mind: Safety is a serious business – DNV
GL is one of the world’s most thorough classification societies.
■■ Flexibility: Owners have many different wishes –
DNV GL has a breadth of know-how to support
their implementation.
■■ Complexity: The more technically demanding a
modern yacht is, the more reassuring it is to know
strict standards are being met.
■■ Impartiality: DNV GL provides owners with
independent, third-party advice and expertise to
accompany the design and construction of a new
yacht.

What DNV GL has to offer
DNV GL is your one-stop shop for a broad spectrum
of certification and classification services. Hulls, masts
and rigging – everything can be checked and certified
by DNV GL.
DNV GL class
A DNV GL class certificate is only awarded if a sailing
or motor yacht meets the highest safety standards.
Our comprehensive examination process covers:
■■ Examination of design drawings
■■ Ongoing supervision of construction process
■■ Use of DNV GL-tested or -approved materials
and components
■■ DNV GL-approved production methods and
surveillance
■■ Proof of workshop qualifications (e.g. FRP)
■■ Qualifications of yard personnel
■■ DNV GL surveys at five-year intervals
DNV GL classification not only promises better value
for money when purchasing a yacht and higher safety
standards at sea but also a better resale price.
DNV GL services
DNV GL provides a certification service for hulls, rigs
and series constructions to the same high standards
as DNV GL classification. The benefits are just as
clear. For yachts of more than 24 metres, the regulatory requirements are more complex. Many flag
states require no certification at all for private yachts.
■■ Hull construction certificate: FRP, steel, aluminium
or wood – DNV GL has the expertise to test and
approve these materials as well as the relevant
manufacturing procedures.
■■ Rigs: DNV GL is hitherto the only society to have
introduced guidelines for approving large rigs on
modern yachts – with a particular focus on carbonfibre reinforced polymer masts. The benefits are
seen in confirmation of structural integrity and
service reliability. Some insurance companies now
demand DNV GL certification of carbon FRP rigs.
■■ Series construction: DNV GL examines and tests
the hull, rigging, machinery, electrical installations
and closures of a series prototype before issuing
a class certificate. With series production also subject to systematic supervision, both yard and future
owner benefit from DNV GL’s thoroughness.
■■ Statutory certification: DNV GL is appointed as a
recognized organization for all major yacht codes.
■■ CE certification: Yachts of between 2.5 and 24
metres in length (CE certification) are certified on
the basis of the EC Directive 94/25/EC. These
services are available for all certification modules.
■■ ISAF certification: All racing yacht sailing under
ISAF provisions in Categories 0, 1 and 2 are obliged
to provide plan review certification of structural
integrity. DNV GL is a notified body for certification
of racing yachts below and above 24 metres of
hull length.
DNV GL expertise
Passenger comfort is a particularly important factor in
modern yachts. Here, DNV GL’s expertise in the field of
passenger ships and high-speed craft is particularly
beneficial in carrying out noise and vibration analyses – so that living and sleeping quarters offer the
same degree of comfort whether a yacht is moored
in a harbour or sailing the high seas.
