Scope of Work

To perform a comprehensive visual inspection of the ship's hull to identify any potential issues or damages without the need for divers or dry docking, thereby minimising operational downtime and reducing associated costs. Work must be class compliant.

Solution

Air Control Entech proposed the use of advanced underwater ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) technology equipped with high-resolution cameras and lighting systems to conduct a detailed visual inspection of the ship's hull. This innovative approach was designed to meet the client's objectives efficiently and safely.

By employing Air Control Entech's advanced ROV technology for the hull inspection, the fishing vessel operator was able to achieve a detailed assessment of the ship's hull condition without resorting to costly and time-consuming traditional methods like dry docking or diver inspections, thereby ensuring continuous operational readiness and safety at sea.

This approach not only demonstrated Air Control Entech's capability to deliver innovative solutions tailored to the unique needs of maritime clients but also reinforced the value of leveraging technology to enhance safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in marine operations.
