•  Voyage using Rafting

•  Alongside Repair Quays in Ports

•  Dry docks

b) UTM SURVEY TYPES

•  Class Special / Renewal Surveys (ESP Vessels / Non ESP Vessels)

These inspectors will assist the Ship Owners/Repair Manager in looking out for the hull structure defects and the overall condition of their vessels

d) 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

e) 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.

f) Bottom Shell Pit Mapping

• Mapping the extent and severity of individual pits by way of systematically checking pitting corrosion in each bay

g) 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
  

h) 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
