Underwater Inspection

We conduct comprehensive in-water surveys in accordance with International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) guidelines. These surveys cover all aspects of underwater integrity, from hull inspections to propulsion system evaluations.

We utilize poker gauges to accurately measure the wear and tear on tailshafts, critical components that transmit power from the engine to the propeller. This assessment ensures that your tailshaft is functioning properly and preventing potential failures.

We perform meticulous rudder measurements with feelers to assess their condition and ensure they are operating effectively. This inspection helps to prevent rudder misalignment, which can lead to steering issues and accidents.

We employ Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, particularly Acoustic Emission Testing (ACFM), to detect subsurface defects and anomalies in underwater structures. This technique provides a non-invasive way to assess the integrity of your vessel’s hull, propellers, and other critical components.

We conduct detailed inspections of antifouling coatings, verifying their effectiveness and identifying areas where the coating may have flaked or deteriorated. We also take flake samples for analysis and provide recommendations for coating maintenance or replacement.

We can access and inspect hard-to-reach areas, such as inside scrubber overboards, using specialized equipment and techniques. This ensures that even the most inaccessible areas are thoroughly evaluated for any potential issues.

We employ Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to conduct underwater inspections in confined spaces or areas with limited visibility. ROVs provide a versatile and safe way to access and inspect underwater structures, even in challenging environments.

We specialized in inspecting floating docks, ensuring their structural integrity, underwater fittings, and compliance with safety regulations. Our comprehensive inspections help to prevent accidents and ensure the safe operation of floating docks for various purposes.

We can collect fouling samples from underwater surfaces, providing valuable data for marine research studies on the composition and effects of marine biofouling. This contributes to the advancement of antifouling technology and helps to protect marine ecosystems.
