When do DNV annual surveys typically occur?

The annual surveys conducted by DNV typically occur in January. This timing allows for the assessment of the vessel's compliance with the latest regulations and standards after the new year, providing an opportunity for organizations to start the year with an updated verification of their operational practices and safety measures. Conducting these surveys early in the year helps ensure that any necessary adjustments or improvements can be made promptly. This timing aligns well with reporting and strategic planning cadences in many organizations, facilitating a systematic review of operations following the holiday season.

While it's important to note that DNV may schedule surveys based on specific customer needs or operational requirements, January has traditionally been a common month for these annual assessments, providing a regular benchmark for compliance and safety evaluations.
