We offer comprehensive inspection, testing, and certification services during dry docking to ensure structural integrity, regulatory compliance, and operational readiness of marine assets.

With a certified team of professionals and state-of-the-art inspection tools, we deliver accurate diagnostics and verifiable results that support Class renewal surveys, damage assessment, and preventive maintenance planning.

Our Specialized Dry Docking Services Include:

• Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM)
  Detailed hull gauging and steel condition assessments for class renewal surveys and repair evaluation. Our UTM complies with IACS standards and is conducted by trained and certified UTM operators.
• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
  We perform a full range of NDT techniques—Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Dye Penetrant Testing (PT), and Ultrasonic Flaw Detection—on propeller shafts, rudders, valves, hulls, and structural components to identify hidden flaws and fatigue cracks.
• Valve Pressure Testing
  Hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure testing of all onboard valves (fire main, ballast, bilge, isolation, etc.) to verify sealing integrity and operational safety.
• Vacuum Box Testing
  Leak detection for weld seams, tank bottoms, and pressure boundaries. This test is essential for identifying pinhole leaks or welding defects in critical areas of the vessel structure.
• Anchor Chain and Mooring Equipment Inspection
  Visual and dimensional inspection, gauging of chain links, swivel joints, and shackles to ensure continued serviceability and compliance with Class and IMO requirements.
• Shaft and Propeller Condition Assessment
  Surface and volumetric inspections of propulsion system components to detect wear, corrosion, or mechanical damage requiring repair or replacement.
• Fire and Safety Equipment Inspection & Certification
  As part of our broader support, we inspect, service, and certify all life-saving and firefighting appliances including fire extinguishers, CO₂ systems, SCBA, liferafts, immersion suits, and more.
