Ship Hull's Inpsection

What Are Ship Underwater Hull Inspections

Ship underwater hull inspections determine the  integrity, paint condition, marine fouling, damage and maintenance required to the hull and associated parts. Inspections can be a complete assessment of the whole hull or for specific parts only. Commercial divers (or alternatively remote operated vehicles) conduct inspections whilst the ship is in-water.

Ship Underwater Hull Inspection Service  

Underwater hull inspections include the condition of the hull for marine fouling and the resulting anti-fouling paint condition. Damage from grounding or to the propeller caused from impact or cavitation erosion can be visually determined. Monitoring of the cathodic or anode system which if deteriorating can result in significant shell plate corrosion is another feature. Other benefits are to determine cleanliness of sea suction gratings and emergency fire pump suction. We also check the integrity of rudder and pintel stock system which otherwise may display cracking.

Hull Inspection Equipment

We use the highest quality underwater photo and video camera systems including professional underwater LED lighting technology in order to provide quality results. Live media feeds transmitted to the surface provide real time monitoring and recording. Photos captured during the inspection and can be downloaded onto the ship’s computer for immediate viewing.
