Thickness measurements and corrosion research

We carry out accurate thickness measurements and corrosion research using advanced ultrasonic measuring equipment, fully in accordance with current ISO standards. Hull thickness measurements are essential for assessing the structural strength and safety of your vessel. Our reliable results give you a clear insight into the condition of your structure. Our reports are clear and professional, including ship drawings and specific recommendations for repair or follow-up.

Moisture measurements

Moisture measurements are crucial for the timely detection of osmosis and hidden moisture problems in fiberglass-reinforced (GRP) hulls. Using specialized measuring equipment, we accurately and reliably map the moisture content. Our measurements provide a valuable basis for surveys, purchase inspections, and maintenance planning. This gives you a clear picture of the condition of your vessel and helps prevent damage and loss of value. You receive a clear, professional report with precise results and practical recommendations, fully in accordance with current standards.

Thermographic research

Thermographic research is a powerful method for early detection of hidden defects on board vessels. Using infrared technology, we map temperature differences, quickly making visible problems such as overheating, poor electrical connections, or insulation faults. These inspections increase safety, prevent failures, and support surveys and maintenance planning. We deliver fast, accurate analyses and clear reports in accordance with current standards. Practical, reliable, and focused on safety. Contact us for more information or a no-obligation quote.

Insurance expertise

Nautical Survey maintains strong partnerships with both large and smaller insurance companies in Belgium and the Netherlands. We act as a reliable partner for carrying out technical assessments in the event of damage, independently and accurately identifying the cause, extent, and repair options. We also support insurers and clients when taking out new policies through thorough inspections and risk analyses, ensuring a correct and transparent assessment. We also act as technical mediator between all parties involved when a case requires it.
