New Chief Surveyor at Germanischer Lloyd

Germanischer Lloyd's new Chief Surveyor is Norbert Kray (42).

He will be taking on the professional support of the classification society's 1,000 surveyors in over 77 countries. In future, the qualified naval architect and marine technology expert will appoint new technical surveyors, monitor their work and further develop new rules for the construction and operation of ships. Norbert Kray started his career at the Bremer Vulkan shipyard and moved to Germanischer Lloyd in 1997. To begin with, he worked in the Analysis of Hull Structures and Damages; later he was deputy head of GL's Damage and Repair Management. Since 2002, Kray has represented GL in committees of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS). Starting in 2006, Norbert Kray headed up the Technical Support department, and was hence also responsible for Germanischer Lloyd's Emergency Response Service (ERS). Owing to the considerable demand for comprehensive technical support in cases of average, he founded the GL Gdansk Engineering Services in Poland in January 2007 and assumed the technical management for the preparation of computer models of the registered vessels.
