As part of a joint development project (JDP), ABS approved a range of ship repair and retrofit work processes for remote survey at Qatar Shipyard and Technology Solutions.
ABS tested, validated and approved remote survey techniques at Qatar Shipyard and Technology Solutions for a number of survey tasks which included rudder clearance inspection; stern tube weardown inspection; and rudder plug opening inspection.
The potential of these technologies is significant, promising enhancements in the efficacy of surveys, being less intrusive to the asset and reducing risks to personnel like exposure to potentially hazardous environments
… said Erkan Erkul, ABS Business Development, Qatar
ABS aims to lead the way forward in applying technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), crawlers, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and wearable technologies to augment traditional class-related surveys and inspections.
This collaboration with ABS aligns perfectly with our mission to provide innovative and sustainable, effective solutions to our customers. By offering remote surveys for the vessels, we are achieving more efficient, faster and safer operations.
