Brookes Bell, a leading consultancy in marine and energy, clinched the Technology and Innovation Award at the Mersey Maritime Industry Awards.
CMAP Recognition
Recognized for its Corrosion Assessment Service (CMAP), the Liverpool-based company’s innovation enhances vessel owners’ awareness of corrosion issues, allowing timely repairs and preventing extensive lay-up time. The award ceremony took place at the Liverpool Cathedral on November 2.
“Our CMAP service is a testament to the ingenuity and tireless efforts of our Non-Destructive Testing team, which continues to make substantial advancements in the development of systems that improve awareness of issues affecting vessels.
Brookes Bell is the only company accredited by Lloyd’s Register to offer this service, which can result in significant cost savings for owners and operators. This award showcases our commitment to developing critical technologies and innovations in the maritime sector, as well as our position as a leading technical consultancy around the world,” said Ken Kirby, Director of Metallurgy and NDT at Brookes Bell.
Marine Maintenance
CMAP, by The Lab at Brookes Bell, employs advanced Pulsed Eddy Current Array (PECA) inspection and 3D data visualization to assess a vessel’s steel condition.
This allows proactive decision-making on repairs, minimizing downtime and costs.
The global cost of corrosion to shipowners, estimated at $80 billion by AMPP, underscores the significance of such innovations in the maritime sector.
CMAP Accreditation
Brookes Bell achieved Lloyd’s Register accreditation for its CMAP service on naval and commercial vessels. The technology, refined through testing on Royal Navy ships, ferries, and superyachts, provides a comprehensive corrosion assessment.
The Mersey Maritime Industry Awards recognized Brookes Bell’s contribution to Liverpool’s maritime sector, where it has excelled for over 120 years in casualty investigation, forensic analysis, and various disciplines including marine engineering and naval architecture.
