- U.T.M. for C.A.P. Survey
- U.T.M. for Annual / Intermediate Class Surveys
- U.T.M. for Underwater Survey using Approved Diving Contractor
2. Steel Condition Assessment
- 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
- On-board desktop CAD Operators to simultaneously process incoming inspection data results on a daily basis ensuring the immediate production & delivery of your inspection report prior to the vessel's arrival at the destination port.

- 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.
4. Bottom Shell Pitting (Tankers)
- Mapping the extent and severity of individual pits by way of systematically checking pitting corrosion in each bay
5. Close-Up Survey (Tankers)
- Visual examination and U.T.M. gauging of ballast tanks carried out during ballast voyage using either flotation rafts or Rope Access techniques
(See "Ultra-Access")- These methods enable safe access to high-level areas of structure
6. CAD Operators
- Upon request, we can provide an on-board desktop CAD operator as part of our Riding Crew to ensure the immediate production & delivery of your inspection report prior to the vessel's arrival at the destination port.
- The CAD operator simultaneously processes incoming inspection data results on a daily basis (ie. Gauging spreadsheets, Steel Renewal calculation spreadsheets, incorporating digital photographs as part of your final report)
7. Testing Equipment Used
- Latest state of the art ultrasonic portable digital gauges with data logging capabilities
- Portable digital LCD A-Scan ultrasonic flaw detectors are used for verification if required
- Multiple echo digital gauges provide accurate thickness measurement through paint coatings without chipping or damaging the coating
8. Middle East / Mediterranean Agency
- Our Agents, BPCO Ltd. located in Athens, Greece, are our official representatives for Marine / Offshore inspection assignments in the Middle East, Mediterranean and Sub-Continent regions.
