Hull Surveys

Hull surveys in the commercial marine industry are critical inspections conducted to assess the condition and integrity of a vessel’s hull. These surveys ensure compliance with safety regulations, prevent accidents, and prolong the vessel’s lifespan. Typically performed by certified marine surveyors, hull surveys involve detailed inspections of the hull’s external and internal structure, checking for corrosion, deformation, and other potential defects. Autonomous drones and remotely operated vehicles are increasingly being used for inspections (ROV surveys), allowing for safer and more efficient surveys, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
