Germanischer Lloyd continues its growth strategy of previous years. The classification society presented its financial figures for 2007 and announced a turnover of 421.7 million Euros. This is a gain of 57.3 million Euros (+16 %) compared to 2006. In the maritime sector, the good order situation of the previous year could be further improved. This business field achieved a turnover of 297.6 million Euros. Extension of the industrial sector was accomplished through both organic growth - especially in the business fields Oil & Gas and Wind Energy - and the acquisition of British Advantica Group (September 2007) as well as the Canadian companies Hélimax (October 2007) and PV Inspections (November 2007). The Industrial Services achieved a turnover of 124.1 million Euros.
