UTM Class Survey

Thickness measurements for class renewal & intermediate surveys

Plans are underway to acquire Bureau Veritas and DNV class approval in 2024.

Would you like us to do your non-class required NDT while we are going through this process?

The state of a ship's hull and its structural parts must be carefully evaluated due to strict classification regulations and routine inspections. All regulatory bodies require Hull Surveys at specified intervals, Intermediate Surveys, Dry-docking Surveys, and Special Periodical Surveys.

Demand and prices for dry docks are rising. Ship owners must estimate the cost of various class periodic inspections on time. Not just the owner values a trustworthy and economical assessment of a ship's condition. It also connotes a dedication to the environment and society.

In general, the hull survey commences with a "pre-plan meeting" involving the Owners, Class surveyor and inspection personnel. The items agreed upon include locations, access to locations and the number of measurements at these specified locations.

Upon completion of the gauging survey, Smart Veritas will provide a final computerised report in the client-supplied format or class-supplied format. These final reports normally include AutoCAD drawings and/or spreadsheet formats which include the hull's original design thickness, current measured thickness and percentage wastage.
