REGULATION (EC) No 139/2004 MERGER PROCEDURE Article 6(1)(b) NON-OPPOSITION Date: 15/07/2013 In electronic form on the EUR-Lex website under document number 32013M6885 Office for Publications of the European Union L-2985 Luxembourg EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 15.7.2013 C(2013) 4588 final In the published version of this decision, some information has been omitted pursuant to Article PUBLIC VERSION 17(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 concerning non-disclosure of business secrets and MERGER PROCEDURE other confidential information. The omissions are shown thus […]. Where possible the information omitted has been replaced by ranges of figures or a general description. To the notifying party: Dear Sir/Madam, Subject: Case No COMP/M.6885 - SDNV/ Germanischer Lloyd Commission decision pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of Council Regulation No 139/20041 (1) On 10 June 2013, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of the Merger Regulation by which Stiftelsen Det Norske Veritas ("SDNV", Norway) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of Germanischer Lloyd SE ("GL", Germany) by way of purchase of shares2 (hereinafter "the proposed transaction" and SDNV and GL are designated as the "Parties"). 1. THE PARTIES (2) SDNV is a foundation, which through its subsidiaries, provides inter alia testing, inspection, certification/verification/classification services and related consulting services in the following main sectors: (i) maritime (ship classification services), (ii) oil & gas, (iii) energy & sustainability and (iv) business assurance services. (3) GL provides various services of testing, inspection, certification/verification/classification and consulting for the following main sectors: (i) maritime (ship classification services), (ii) oil & gas, (iii) renewables. It is a subsidiary of Mayfair Vermögensverwaltungs SE 1 OJ L 24, 29.1.2004, p. 1 ("the Merger Regulation"). With effect from 1 December 2009, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU") has introduced certain changes, such as the replacement of "Community" by "Union" and "common market" by "internal market". The terminology of the TFEU will be used throughout this decision. 2 Publication in the Official Journal of the European Union No C 170, 15.06.2013, p. 45. Commission européenne, 1049 Bruxelles, BELGIQUE / Europese Commissie, 1049 Brussel, BELGIË. Tel.: +32 229-91111. ("Mayfair", Germany), which is a private investor holding company investing in long-term participations in companies and real estate, among other investments. 2. THE OPERATION (4) Pursuant to the Combination Agreement of 20 December 2012, SDNV proposes to acquire GL from Mayfair and combine it with its subsidiary DNV Group AS, to be renamed DNV GL Group AS (the "JV"). In exchange, Mayfair will receive 36.5% of the shares in that JV. All important decisions regarding strategic matters of the company (budget, business plan, etc.) will be taken at the level of DNV GL Group. (5) The Board of Directors of the JV will be composed of […] members: […] appointed by SDNV, […] by Mayfair and […] by the JV's employees3. The Board of Directors decides on all matters which are not explicitly vested with the shareholders or other governing bodies of the JV; its role is to "direct and oversee the activities of [the JV]" and to "approve [the JV's] business plan, financial plan and budgets"4. The Board of Directors takes decisions […], thus none of the Parties has a clear majority or a veto on its decisions5. Nevertheless, there are certain elements indicating that SDNV will be able to exercise sole control over the JV. First, SDNV will have […] out of […] votes in the Board of Directors of the JV and, in case of a tie, the chairman appointed by SDNV will have a casting vote. Second, if the powers of the employee representatives are left aside, SDNV has a […] majority in the Board of Directors with […] out of […] votes. If the powers of the employee representatives are taken into account, their role appears to reinforce the powers of SDNV for two reasons: (i) they are subject to instructions given by the general meeting of shareholders in which SDNV has a clear majority; (ii) during the past […] calendar years, in the […] board meetings of SDNV, there have been no cases where the employee representatives have voted against the shareholders' representatives of SDNV. According to the Parties, this practice of seeking consensus is likely to continue. (6) Consequently, the proposed transaction of GL by SDNV constitutes a concentration within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation. 3. EU DIMENSION (7) The notified concentration does not have a Union dimension but was notifiable in Germany, Lithuania, Poland and the United Kingdom. The Parties have requested the Commission to examine the concentration pursuant to Article 4(5) of the Merger Regulation. The Member States competent to examine the concentration did not within 15 working days express their disagreement to the request for referral. Thus, the Commission decided to examine the concentration since the legal requirements for a referral were met. 3 [Document bringing about the concentration]. 4 [Document bringing about the concentration]. 5 [Document bringing about the concentration]. 2 4. RELEVANT MARKETS (8) Both SDNV and GL are active in the field of risk management and provide testing, inspection, certification/verification/classification ("TIC") services, as well as consulting services, particularly ship classification services, on a global basis. (9) TIC services consist in testing, verification, inspection, auditing and certification services done by public and private suppliers to the public and private sectors. TIC services are an objective assessment of the quality and safety of what is being tested aimed at reassuring customers, consumers and end-users that a manufacturer has followed national and/or international regulations and/or industry standards that ensure quality, environmental protection and public health and safety. Testing, inspection and certification services generally overlap because they are highly interrelated. For example, a testing or certification service often has an integral inspection element. These services can be applied to any product, service or company independently of the sector. (10) As regards distinguishing TIC services from consultancy services, the Commission's market investigation broadly indicated that, both from the supply side and the demand side, respondents would combine testing, inspection and certification services, regardless of the sector concerned, although the legal requirements to be able to offer each type of services may differ depending on the industry sector concerned. However, they would indeed separate consultancy services, since they are generally provided by different companies, in particular to avoid conflict of interests. As regards distinguishing these services by industry sectors, the results of the market investigation are mixed, both on the supply side and the demand side. The main well-established TIC services providers are all active in a number of sectors, such as maritime, oil & gas and renewable energies. They consider that the core service (TIC) is the same, but the distinction lies in the level of technical knowledge and capabilities in each sector. Generally, respondents identified maritime, oil & gas and renewable energies as relevant sectors that can be distinguished. (11) Within the TIC and consultancy services, the Parties' activities overlap in a number of business segments, but the proposed transaction only leads to horizontally affected markets if one considers the following product and geographic market: (a) the worldwide market for TIC services (in particular ship classification) in the maritime sector, (b) the EEA market for TIC services in the renewable energy sector, in particular the wind turbine certification segment, and (c) the EEA market for TIC services in the oil & gas business sector. 4.1. TIC services (in particular ship classification) in the maritime sector 4.1.1. Relevant product market (12) SDNV and GL are both classification societies. Classification societies provide independent classification services6 and statutory services in accordance with the relevant international 6 Article 2(i) of Regulation (EC) No 391/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations. 3 conventions7, as well as assistance to the maritime industry. They develop and apply their own rules and procedures8, and if selected by a vessel owner or ship building yard, certify the adherence of the ship to the society's rules. They also verify compliance with international and/or national statutory regulations on behalf of flag administrations. The vast majority of commercial ships are built to, and surveyed for compliance with, the rules and procedures laid down by classification societies. (13) In a previous antitrust case, the Commission has taken the view that there is a separate market for classification services for merchant ships, which encompasses the production of technical standards ("rules and procedures") for ship construction, equipment, maintenance and inspection; the verification of plans and the supervision of the ship

  • Safety Considerations and Approval Procedures for the Integration of Fuel Cells on Board of Ships
    SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS AND APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR THE INTEGRATION OF FUEL CELLS ON BOARD OF SHIPS Vogler, F.1 and Dr. Würsig, G.2 1 Risk Assessment & Mechanical Engineering, Germanischer Lloyd AG, Vorsetzen 35, Hamburg, 20459, Germany, [email protected] 2 Risk Assessment & Mechanical Engineering, Germanischer Lloyd AG, Vorsetzen 35, Hamburg, 20459, Germany, [email protected] ABSTRACT The shipping industry is becoming increasingly visible on the global environmental agenda. Shipping's share of emissions to air is regarded to be significant and public concern lead to ongoing political pressure to reduce shipping emissions. International legislation at the IMO governing the reduction of SOx and NOx emissions from shipping is being enforced, and both the European Union and the USA are planning to introduce additional regional laws to reduce emissions. Therefore new approaches for more environmental friendly and energy efficient energy converter are under discussion. One possible solution will be the use of fuel cell systems for auxiliary power or main propulsion. The presentation summarizes the legal background in international shipping related to the use for gas as ship fuel and fuel cells. The focus of the presentation will be on the safety principles for the use of gas as fuel and fuel cells on board of ships and boats. The examples given show the successful integration of such systems on board of ships. Furthermore a short outlook will be given to the ongoing and planed projects for the use of fuel cells on board of ships. 1.0 EMISSIONS IN SHIPPING 1.1 Emission in Shipping Global warming, acidification and degradation of air quality are environmental impact categories high on the international agenda.

  • Role of Classification Society in Arctic Shipping
    ROLE OF CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY IN ARCTIC SHIPPING Seppo Liukkonen, Station Manager, DNVGL Station Helsinki Abstract The core mission of a classification society is “to protect human lives, property and the environment”. In first place the classification societies are fulfilling this function in marine environment, because the classification business in its current form started within sea transportation and shipping. Since then the function of the classification societies has widened to comprise shipbuilding, different kinds of off- shore activities and also some on-shore activities. When fulfilling their function the classification societies are using their own classification rules as their main, own tool. Additionally, the classification societies are often fulfilling their above-mentioned function by working together with and on behalf of the flag state administrations. Here the so-called IMO instruments such as the SOLAS and MARPOL conventions, for instance, are the main basis of the work. Also, international standards, such as the EN-ISO and IEC standards, for instance, and other national and international regulations, such as the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules and Canadian Arctic Pollution Prevention Regulations, for instance, are used by the classification societies. Basically, the work of the classification societies is to ensure that the object in question, e.g., a ship, an off-shore structure, a quality management system, etc., is in compliance with the above-mentioned relevant rules and regulations. In practice this can be done, e.g., with plan approvals, supervision of manufacturing, surveys, inspections and audits. This presentation gives an overview about the role of the classification societies in ensuring and developing the safe Arctic shipping.

  • International Association of Classification Societies
    International Association of Classifi cation Societies Roy Nersesian and Subrina Mahmood I. Introduction Th e International Association of Classifi cation Societies (IACS), headquar- tered in London, is made up of ten classifi cation societies: Lloyds Register (LR), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas (BV), China Clas- sifi cation Society (CCS), Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Germanischer Lloyd (GL), Korean Register (KR), Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NK), Registro Italiano Navale (RINA), and the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS), as well as the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) as an associate member. According to the Maritime International Secretariet Services (www.marisec.org), there are 47,700 vessels in the world trading fl eet made up principally of general cargo vessels, bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, and passenger vessels. If vessels smaller than 100 gross tons are included (too small to venture on the high seas or participate in international trade), the world fl eet numbers close to 100,000. Most of the world’s trading vessels – nearly 41,000 in 2008 – are registered with classifi cation society members of the IACS. Th e remaining vessels are covered by non-IASC member classifi cation societies. Classifi cation societies develop and implement technical standards for ships and fl oating off shore oil production and storage facilities. Th ese societies set rules to ensure the structural strength and integrity of the ship’s hull and its internal structure, cargo holds, bridge superstructure as well as the functional aspects and reliability of propulsion, steering systems, power generation, cargo handling, ship control, communication, navigation, emer- gency and other auxiliary systems.

  • Detentionlist 01 2016
    SHORT GUIDANCE TO THE MONTHLY LIST OF DETENTIONS OF THE PARIS MOU • INFORMATION IN THE LIST The monthly list of detentions of the Paris MOU contains information about ships which were detained in the Paris MOU region during the month under review. An alphabetical index on ship’s name and an index on IMO number are provided with the list. The information listed for each ship is conform Annex 4 Publication of Information related to Detentions and Inspections. (As referred to in Section 5.2 of the Memorandum) http://www.parismou.org/Organization/2010.12.27/Memorandum_of_Understanding.htm Some of these items require an explanation: RO related deficiencies: a ‘Yes’ in this column indicates that one or more of the deficiencies mentioned under ‘Reasons for detention’ are the responsibility of the Recognized Organization which has issued the relevant certificate(s). This is not necessarily the Recognized Organization mentioned in the list (see below)! Port and date of release from detention: details of detentions are entered in the information system of the Paris MOU after the ship has been released. Therefore, the details on a detention of a ship detained in September but released in October are only available in October. Recognized Organization: the Recognized Organization mentioned is not necessarily the party issuing the certificates relevant for all deficiencies which were reasons for detention. ‘Ship allowed to sail to nearest repair yard for repairs’: in general, a ship is not released from detention before all necessary repairs have been made. However, sometimes it is not possible to repair all defects at the place of detention.

  • Shipping Made in Hamburg
    Shipping made in Hamburg The history of the Hapag-Lloyd AG THE HISTORY OF THE HAPAG-LLOYD AG Historical Context By the middle of the 19th Century the industrial revolution has caused the disap- pearance of many crafts in Europe, fewer and fewer workers are now required. In a first process of globalization transport links are developing at great speed. For the first time, railways are enabling even ordinary citizens to move their place of residen- ce, while the first steamships are being tested in overseas trades. A great wave of emigration to the United States is just starting. “Speak up! Why are you moving away?” asks the poet Ferdinand Freiligrath in the ballad “The emigrants” that became something of a hymn for a German national mo- vement. The answer is simple: Because they can no longer stand life at home. Until 1918, stress and political repression cause millions of Europeans, among them many Germans, especially, to make off for the New World to look for new opportunities, a new life. Germany is splintered into backward princedoms under absolute rule. Mass poverty prevails and the lower orders are emigrating in swarms. That suits the rulers only too well, since a ticket to America produces a solution to all social problems. Any troublemaker can be sent across the big pond. The residents of entire almshouses are collectively despatched on voyage. New York is soon complaining about hordes of German beggars. The dangers of emigration are just as unlimited as the hoped-for opportunities in the USA. Most of the emigrants are literally without any experience, have never left their place of birth, and before the paradise they dream of, comes a hell.

  • Western Canada Shipbuilding Summit Introduction
    Western Canada Shipbuilding Summit The role of Classification Societies in Shipbuilding Marcel LaRoche, Marine Manager Western Canada Lloyd’s Register Canada Ltd. May 2nd, 2012 Introduction In the context of both international and Canadian shipping this presentation will examine the relationships between the key regulatory players related to shipbuilding and seek to clarify their roles. Ship Building Defining Design Criteria • Given the considerable cost of building a ship, three very important criteria must be established early in the design phase. 1. What is the need for the vessel thus establishing the design intent (ship type, area of operation…etc)? 2. To which Flag State will the ship be registered; hence establishing the regulatory framework to which the ship will be built and operated? 3. Will the ship be built to the Rules and Regulations of a Classification Society and if so, which one? Regulatory Regime Flag States (National Maritime Administrations) • That authority under which a country exercises regulatory control over the commercial vessel which is registered under its flag. • This involves the inspection, certification, and issuance of safety and pollution prevention documents. • Responsibilities include: • Development of national law and regulations • Implementation of international conventions and mandatory codes • Ensure compliance • Exercise control functions Regulatory Regime United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea Article 94 of UNCLOS the Flag State has certain duties including: • “exercises its jurisdiction
