Thermal imaging of boats and ocean-going vessels is now widely used and acknowledged as an invaluable aid to improve safety, reliability and efficiency.

Our engineers are experienced in working at sea on ships or carrying out inspections of vessels which are being refurbished or under repair.

Electrical Inspections

Electrical failures on marine vessels can put lives at risk. This connection on a control panel within a vessel was extremely close to failure. The repair was carried out and re-inspected at the time of the survey ensuring the safety and continued operation of this critical system.
We have the flexibility to meet the demanding needs of this industry and have proven experience in finding faults and in making detailed recommendations as to remedial actions.

Mechanical Drive Inspections

Rotating mechanical drives on vessels are a critical part of equipment. We are able to identify failing bearings, couplings and misalignments allowing repairs to be made prior to a catastrophic failure.

Prior to a survey we will provide a full risk assessment and method statement detailing how we conduct the survey and the precautions we take to ensure our work is completed safely and efficiently.

SOLAS Regulation Compliance

SOLAS regulations stipulate maximum surface temperatures within ships to prevent catastrophic damage or fire. Our engineers can carry out surveys to highlight missing or damaged insulation. The images above also show how we are able to detect problems such an exhaust leak from an engine.
