Visual inspection of the vessel

Our visual inspection services provide a reliable and efficient method to assess the overall condition of a vessel’s metal structure, offering shipowners and operators valuable insights into the integrity of critical components. During the inspection process, our experienced specialists thoroughly evaluate both the hull and internal structures, paying particular attention to high-stress areas such as weld seams, bearing joints, and other structural connections that are vital for the vessel’s stability and performance.

The primary aim of this service is to provide shipowners with a clear picture of the ship’s structural health, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding maintenance and repair planning. We focus on early detection of visible damage such as corrosion, cracks, deformation, or any other form of structural wear. Identifying these issues early on is crucial for preventing costly repairs, ensuring the vessel’s operational safety, and maintaining its ongoing seaworthiness. Our inspections are designed to extend the service life of your vessel by addressing minor issues before they escalate into major problems that can lead to unscheduled downtime or regulatory non-compliance.

In addition to the standard visual checks, we offer comprehensive photo and video documentation. This creates a detailed visual record of the inspected areas, which is invaluable for technical reporting, future inspections, or class surveys. Having this documentation on hand not only supports transparency but also saves valuable crew time during subsequent inspections, making future maintenance efforts more efficient.

Our visual inspection services include the following:

• General evaluation of the vessel’s structural condition, focusing on critical areas prone to wear

• Inspection of welds and load-bearing joints to ensure they are intact and free from defects

• Identification of visible surface defects such as corrosion, cracks, or other forms of degradation

• Optional photo and video reporting, creating a permanent visual record for future reference

• Global service availability, whether your vessel is afloat or in dry dock, ensuring flexibility and minimal operational disruption

All inspections are carried out in compliance with industry standards and best practices, ensuring that the results are accurate, reliable, and actionable. With our expert visual inspection services, shipowners and operators can maintain their vessels in top condition, avoid unplanned repairs, and enhance the safety and reliability of their fleet.
