Underwater Visual Inspection

Underwater Visual Inspection

Underwater visual inspection is an essential part of vessel and offshore structure maintenance and safety management. It involves direct underwater observation by divers to quickly and effectively assess the overall condition of hulls and submerged structures. This inspection can be carried out while the vessel is alongside or at anchorage, without drydocking, significantly saving time and cost.

We provide professional underwater visual inspection services for vessels operating in East African waters. The inspection scope includes hull plating below the waterline, weld seams, rudders, propellers, shafts, sea chests, valves, and other underwater fittings. Using high-definition underwater cameras and on-site documentation, potential issues such as cracks, deformation, corrosion, impact damage, looseness, or abnormal wear can be promptly identified.

All inspections are conducted by experienced and certified divers under the supervision of qualified engineers, in strict compliance with classification society requirements and international underwater safety standards. Upon completion, detailed inspection reports with photos and videos can be provided to support maintenance planning and ensure safe and reliable vessel operations.
