On the move Bureau Veritas restructures
International classification society Bureau Veritas has restructured its marine and off- shore activities and made a number of new key appointments. The moves follow the retirement of
Bernard Anne from his position as executive vice-president and managing director of the Marine Division.
The marine and offshore activities have been merged into one Marine & Offshore Di-
vision, with a global network divided into four key areas. Philippe Donche-Gay has been appointed executive vice-president in charge of the Marine & Offshore Division, addressing both industry seg- ments.
Donche-Gay said: “Our portfolio of services covers every as- pect of the marine and offshore industries. Our new structure will allow us to maximise the synergies between marine and offshore, giving both industries the best practices of the other.”
