Germanischer Lloyd buys Trident Consultants

Germanischer Lloyd (GL), the German classification society, has acquired Kuala Lumpur-based Trident Consultants for an undisclosed sum.

Trident was formed in 1982 to provide consultancy in process engineering and safety to the onshore and offshore oil and gas and process industries. The company has a staff of 75 engineers and scientists working around the world.

The new acquisition will work within GL's industrial services unit that offers third party certification and inspection, independent design verification, as well as risk-based inspections and condition surveys of production facilities both onshore and offshore.

With the additional expertise of Trident Consultants, Germanischer Lloyd will now be able to further extend its network and service portfolio especially in Southeast Asia, GL said.
