Remote maritime surveys extended


The classification society DNV GL has finished the world's first in-water remote ship surveys using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The in-water bottom surveys using ROVs were carried out on three separate Wilson ASA-managed vessels, the first having been completed on the Wilson Fedje in December 2019 by a surveyor from Høvik.

 

All three in-water remote surveys were conducted in collaboration with VUVI AS, a Norwegian inspection company specialising in underwater inspections for ships and offshore platforms using ROVs.

 

Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL - maritime: “DNV GL has been carrying out remote surveys since 2018, so this option is an extension of our existing portfolio."

 

The classification company has recorded a 33% uplift in the weekly number of remote surveys conducted compared to pre-pandemic levels. In total, DNV GL has now performed an estimated 17,400 remote surveys worldwide since 2018 with on average 300 remote surveys being carried out every week. (mw)
