DPI provides Audit / Inspections for offshore and specialized vessels and we work directly with rig and vessel owners/operators. Our team is very familiar with various Audits and Inspections and we have persons in our team that are previous DNV Principal Surveyors with experience from DPO Test Centre Management, Maritime Audits that also includes audits of Navigation and DP Simulator Centers.

Our Audit / Inspections services are grouped into specific areas and we have advanced in-house competence for each of them.
