UTM, Hull Surveys & Pre-Docking Surveys for all types of Vessel under all IACS Classes.

We specialize in Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement & Hull surveys of Vessels of all types.

We survey more than 200 Vessels each year worldwide and successfully complete Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement & Hull projects of any type.
Our staff carry years of practical training in the field of UTM & Ship Repair.
We work closely with our principals and all Classification Societies against the requirements of each project covering the requirements of Class Statutory & Occasional Surveys, as well as Hull Repairs or Modification Surveys.

Our staff act as multitools while on your Vessel, providing services beyond simple UTM, to cover steel fitting, welding inspections, monitoring of staging, etc.

Our extensive experience in all available Class UTM Software allow us to produce comprehensive and well-detailed UTM Reports accompanied by Naval drawings. We prepare Dry-Dock Specifications along with explanatory Steel Estimation Reports to identify the attention areas of your Vessel and produce Yard-Ready results to assist in pre-fabrication of Steel plates and preparation of Steel Repairs.

Our staff can also deliver supplementary UTM Reports as per the Requirements of each Classification Society. This involves amongst others, Cap Reports and Section Modulus Reports.

Our approval scope covers major and reputable Class members, while we work seamlessly with all principals representing the Owner in a variety of requirements.

Our experience makes the difference. Our staff approach each project as individual, identify its specific parameters and tailor their working performance within the requirements and the timeline of each project. We are used to working under pressure and always aim to outperform the specifics of each project.

Our IRATA UTM Team reaches and inspects every area freeing you from cherry picker and staging requirements. Fast, Cost-Efficient, Flexible, Multipurpose.

Rope Access is the optimum method when it comes to Ship Close-up Inspection and Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement. Rope Access is also recognised by IACS members as a valid Remote Inspection Technique for survey & Close up.

Able to be carried out at any type of Vessel, at virtually any Port, Yard or seagoing condition, Rope Access provides a clear path away from costly and time-consuming options such as fixed staging, temporary staging, rafting, cherry picker hire & alternative means of temporary access. Moreover, it allows to complete Ship Surveys combined with In-Water Surveys without entering the Shipyard. Finally, it does not require lengthy and complicated port formalities making the survey logistics simpler, faster and more efficient for Captains, crews, and Company representatives.

Using Rope Access, the non-Accessible sections of each Vessel become therefore 100% Close-up surveyable, while our Rope Access Team brings you inch close to each structural component and allows for a 100% proper assessment of the Vessel’s condition and attention areas.

A major benefit of the process is that our team is not restricted by fixed or temporary staging or cherry picker track restriction. Where the surveyor wants to go we go, therefore saving money usually spent in staging and more importantly saving time from the vessel’s commercial obligations and port activity. The end result of this is a more flexible survey carried out to 100% satisfaction of the requirements, without any Vessel Off-Hire or costly bills in the end.

Rope Access Surveys are faster in execution as well, while they can be carried out in total unity with the Vessel’s operational timeline, without requiring external crane or any other external assistance. Our Rope Access Team carries out its surveys in line with the vessel’s cargo operation and as applicable catching loading or pre-loading available spaces as they become free and safe for inspection.

Out CCTV system gives our clients a bird’s eye view of each component and allows for Class, RO surveyors and other attending third parties, to get a valid preview of each section we survey. CCTV recording of our working progress, where requested covers the requirements of IACS members for remote inspection techniques.

NDT Surveys through our Level III and Level II Inspectors. We Survey under all Methods and All Applications

NDT stands for Non-Destructive Testing and refers to an array of inspection methods that enable inspectors to evaluate and collect data about a material, component, or structure without permanently altering it.

The metal industry has long required a valid and trustworthy method of structure and condition assessment. NDT fills-in that gap, by providing a reliable “under the skin” method of identifying a wide array of structural or welding irregularities.

Through their non-intrusive nature NDT have become the most preferred method of condition assessment, and quite a substantial tool for in-depth survey of structural components, materials, welding assessment and repairs.

NDT is commonly used in quality control engineering in a variety of Shipping and Industrial sectors, as it is less costly, faster and provide immediate results when compared to other conventional methods.

Our certified Level III & Level II inspectors and Supervisors, can carry out NDT Surveys under the most common methods of UT, MT, PT & VT.
Our technical team involves Level II and Level III inspectors with long experience in their field.

Our NDT service proactively assists Supt and Chief Engineers around the world, to monitor engine performance through the method of Replica Liner.

We successfully fuse with Engineers, Construction Supervisors and Class Surveyors around the world to ensure that our clients aim remains solid and untampered. Total Quality, Total Endurance.

Our NDT Services consist of:

The surest and safest way to identify the actual tightness of your Vessel’s Hatch Covers, safeguarding the safety of your Crew, Vessel & Cargo.

We provide clear and definite indication on Hatch Cover Tightness through the method of Ultrasound.

Far more accurate and definite than the Hose or Chalk tests carried out by most, this technique allows for pinpoint accuracy of the leaking locations around a Hatch Cover’s sealing points, and actively protects Structure & Cargo.

Calibrations

Every Ship Staff relies on a variety of detectors, gauges, tapes and other means of measuring equipment to carry out his/her work onboard the Vessel with accuracy.

Knowing that your fleet of measuring equipment is in good working order, but most importantly accurate and trustworthy is of the highest importance and can make a great difference towards work success or failure.

More importantly it ensures that the safety of the Ship’s staff is ensured and remains always a top priority.

Such a result can only be achieved through frequent inspection and calibration of equipment. Calibration improves assurance of precise measurements required many times over in the daily operations of a Vessel.

Calibration is important because it helps ensure accurate measurements, and accurate measurements are foundational to the quality, safety and innovation of most actions and work Ship Staffs use and rely on every day.

Calibration is vitally important wherever measurements are important, it enables users and businesses to have confidence in the results that they monitor, record and subsequently control.

Our Service Engineers can inspect and calibrate the following equipment:

• Gas Detectors
• Temperature Calibrators
• Thermometers
• Gauging Tapes
• Gas Pressure Meters
• Pressure Gauges
• Pressure Calibrators
