Survey and inspection vessels provide a working platform for marine data collection and asset inspection. The brief may involve hydrographic work, subsea inspection or support for remotely operated equipment.
We assess the vessel together with the intended survey package. Working space, power, equipment handling, positioning requirements and accommodation should follow the project rather than a generic vessel specification.
Project scope
Survey method, inspection task and operating area.
Equipment handling
Deck space, lifting and launch or recovery needs.
Systems integration
Power, data workspace and positioning requirements.

Specialists, accommodation and work duration.
