DNV GL has been tasked with creating a cruise compliance audit and certification programme for cruise lines that want to restart cruise operations out of Singapore.

The work comes as a result of the classification society winning a tender worth SGD 145,000 ($106,000) from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), according to the Business Times.

The tender documents show the work will require DNV GL to review and enhance the STB's preliminary list of cruise safety management measures, recommend an approach to audit the cruise lines, and develop a non-compliance framework.
