MIS are approved by all the major Classification Societies.

We specialise in surveys on LRGs, LNGs, ULCCs, VLCCs, Bulk Carriers, Product Tankers, General Cargo, FPSOs and FSOs.

We provide fully qualified NDT Technicians to undertake ultrasonic flaw detection, magnetic particle examination, eddy current inspection and dye penetrant testing.

Pitting can be unexpected and, if not found at an early stage, can lead to vessel down time and high repair costs. In some locations the acid/water content of the crude can be very high and can cause pitting problems in the cargo tanks. Our inspectors have extensive experience in pitting surveys and provide a comprehensive report detailing locations, type of pit and repair required.

With the financial and environmental cost of inferior repairs so high, our customers rely on our inspectors to get their repairs done on time and to the highest standard, whether the vessel is afloat or in dry-dock/ship-repair facility. As with all our work, our philosophy is never to compromise on quality.

All our Steel Inspectors are qualified to internationally recognised weld inspection standards, have years of experience of ship repair and extensive knowledge of IACS requirements.

Shipyards run to a tight schedule and this can sometimes mean a compromise on quality control and standards. We act as the Owner’s quality control representative ensuring that nothing is missed and that the highest standard of repair is maintained. This reduces the pressure on the Superintendent and gives the Surveyor confidence that all repairs are being tightly controlled.

Our Coating Surveys give an in depth description of coating breakdown and defects. Reports include a photographic guide to the condition, with a breakdown of areas/percentages that require re-coating, staging requirements and type of coating. Our Inspectors can supervise the coating repairs at drydock and are experienced in Surface Preparation and Coating Standards.
