UnderWater Inspection in Lieu of Drydocking: an in-water hull survey accepted as an alternative to dry-docking, so the vessel or FPSO does not interrupt its operation.
It depends on the classification society and on the vessel type and age; it is typically accepted at the intermediate surveys of the class cycle. We coordinate the scope directly with class and the operator.
Hull plating, weld seams, sea chests, thrusters, appendages and cathodic protection systems, with ultrasonic thickness measurement. We deliver HD photos and video, a hull condition summary and a technical report with recommendations.
With no personnel in the water, operational risk drops, the visual record is consistent and high quality, and time and cost are reduced. The SRV-8X Optimus mini-ROV works around the hull and its appendages.
