Shipping companies can now manage compliance requirements with a new digital tool.
DNV’s Compliance Planner enables customers to easily track the requirements and deadlines of legislation for both individual vessels and entire fleets. It presents a full overview of the requirements facing any vessel, or fleet, the requirements already met, those still to be fulfilled, and a tailored list of actions to ensure compliance.
Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV Maritime, said: “With Compliance Planner, we are now able to offer our customers a comprehensive and simple tool that can keep them not only in compliance, but ahead of the regulatory curve.”

After users log in, Compliance Planner presents all of the upcoming statutory requirements based on the vessels in Veracity - Fleet Status. The results are filtered to match the vessels within a customer’s fleet and broken down into mandatory and optional requirements. It also offers an accessible information resource that will help customers familiarise themselves with new regulations.
“This is the first time that a classification society has put together this information in a way that is simple, accessible, and automatically shows an owner or operator which regulations are affecting their fleet and when,” said Georgios Kasimatis, director of regulatory affairs at DNV Maritime.
He added the tool will reduce time spent on administration and the risk of missing deadlines.
Compliance Planner is available from 14 June for all DNV customers with vessels in class. Coverage of Flag State requirements is planned for inclusion in a future update.
