Survey planning and review of hull drawings were completed the day prior to the survey.
During the inspection, the surveyor used VUVI’s sonar technology to scan the vessel’s bottom in order to locate the hull equipment, such as echo sounder sensors; speed log sensors and sea chests, while simultaneously assessing the general condition of the hull.
Statutory and class regulations require two bottom surveys of a vessel within a five-year period, with an interval of less than 36 months in between.
The certification of VUVI AS was conducted in accordance with Class Programme DNV GL-CP0484 for in-water inspections.
DNV GL has recorded a 33% uplift in the weekly number of remote surveys conducted compared to pre-pandemic levels.
In total, DNV GL has now conducted an estimated 17,400 remote surveys worldwide since 2018 with on average 300 remote surveys being carried out every week.
