About us

From our beginnings in an Oslo laboratory as part of Det Norske Veritas (DNV), VPS has evolved into the largest bunker fuel testing company for ship operators in the world. Along our journey we have acquired the expertise to test oils of all types, for both marine and non-marine customers. In VPS we lead through innovation and in partnership with our customers we continue to evolve our testing methods, technologies and advisory services.

Our innovative thinking will keep your business on the right side of change.
