Why Hull Inspections Are Needed
Marine growth, corrosion, and structural damage affect vessel performance and safety. Traditionally, hull checks meant dry docking—a costly and time-consuming process.
Benefits of Underwater Inspections
- Cost savings: No need for dockyard facilities.
- Time efficiency: Conducted while vessel remains afloat.
- Compliance: Meets class society requirements for periodic surveys.
When to Choose Dry Docking Instead
- When major repairs or steel replacement are needed.
- For painting and anti-fouling renewal.
- After grounding or collision damage.
