Drone surveys for vessels, ports & offshore assets.

Hold and ballast tank inspections, hull surveys, void spaces — captured by a collision-tolerant drone, reported by a qualified marine Chief engineer and MSC.349(92) Surveyor.

Working alongside vessel owners, class surveyors and shipyards, we deploy the collision-tolerant Elios 3 inside cargo holds, ballast and fuel tanks, void spaces and other GPS-denied environments. The drone removes the need for staging, rope access or confined-space entry teams — the inspection that used to take a week of preparation and shutdown is now completed in hours, with the asset back in service the same day.

Every survey is overseen by a qualified marine Chief Engineer and MSC.349(92) Surveyor, so the captured data is interpreted with operational context — corrosion patterns, coating breakdown, structural anomalies and class-relevant defects are highlighted, not just imaged. Deliverables typically include 4K video walkthroughs, geo-referenced still imagery, a LiDAR-based point cloud of the inspected compartment and an annotated PDF report suitable for class submission.

Turnaround on a standard hold or tank survey is 48–72 hours from on-board capture. We have supported owners, managers and class societies on bulk carriers, tankers, ro-ros and offshore support vessels across Irish and UK ports.
