Underwater surveys and inspections

Our underwater surveys and inspections are approved by all main classifications in lieu of dry dock (ILDD), for pre-selling inspections, collision damage, fouling conditions, pre-dry dock conditions, hull-plating condition, weld seams, paint condition or any other reasons. These are carried out with modern inspection techniques giving real-time information. CCTV, photographic, NDT and diver physical inspection surveys are all part of the service as required. Certified inspection divers carry out the work.

This allows the client or classification to take important decisions on site, saving time and money.

ILDD survey

Providing there are no conditions of class imposed which cannot be repaired underwater the ship can qualify for underwater ILDD inspection. Classifications require a good in water visibility and the ship needs to be prepared. This kind of inspection saves the ship from dry-docking for 2½ or 5 years. It also requires well-trained certified inspection divers and equipment.

Dry-docking extension survey

Inspections of this nature gain 3 to 6 months on the dry-dock time limit and allows the operator to fulfil cargo commitments. If condition of class is imposed it is still possible to grant an extension.

Insurance and damage assessment - gives all parties involved the necessary information about damage that has occurred allowing correct repair procedures to be implemented without further delay.
