ULTRASONIC THICKNESS MEASUREMENT SURVEY
• Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement Surveys ( U.T.M.) on Ship' s Hull Structures during
• Ballast Voyage using Riding Crews
• Voyage using Rafting
• Alongside Repair Quays in Ports
• Dry docks
UTM SURVEY TYPES
• Class Special / Renewal Surveys ( ESP Vessels / Non ESP Vessels)
• Owner' s Condition Survey
• C.A.P. / C A S Survey

HULL INSPECTOR SUPPLY
We are able to supply qualified and experienced welding inspectors & QA/ QC engineers, inspectors to the Ship Owners/ Shipyard when the vessel arrive for repair work/ Project ( Ship Conversion) . These inspectors will assist the Ship Owners/ Repair Manager in looking out for the hull structure defects and the overall condition of their vessels
Steel Weight Estimation & Repair Plan
Renewal planning by indicating condition of steel,
Highlighting areas of serious wastage, fracturing or buckling based on gauging results,
Visual inspection & photography.
Indicating cropping lines for renewal or re-coating and if necessary,
Calculation of steel weights
Providing draft reports at sea during ballast voyage,
Thus informing Ship Owner in advance, prior to drydocking or lay-up
Riding Crew Welders for Minor Steel Repairs
We provide qualified " Class-Approved" Welders to carry out weld repairs during ballast voyages in order to rectify any outstanding " Condition of Class" items or any structures found defective during Close-Up Survey.
Bottom Shell Pit Mapping
Mapping the extent and severity of individual pits by way of systematically checking pitting corrosion in each bay
Close-Up Survey
Visual examination and U.T.M. gauging of ballast tanks carried out during ballast voyage using either flotation rafts or Rope Access techniques
ROPE ACCESS / RAFT METHODS ( UTM)
The rope access method is a very cost efficient way of accessing any type of high rise structure or any type of awkward space. Proper training and safety guidelines are essential to succesfully carry out a Rope Access job.
Rafting operations are commonly used in cargo tanks of crude oil tankers where the tank is filled with water and a dinghy is utilised to move around
