Class survey

Data that passes class survey on the first submission.

Re-surveys cost dry-dock days. Insufficient evidence costs trust. Scout 137 captures close-up survey, UT and 3D point cloud to the IACS workflow the surveyor already uses, in the format the office already accepts.

Initial & special surveys

New-build acceptance and the five-year special survey. Full close-up visual and UT plate-thickness records for every space the surveyor asks for.

Intermediate surveys

Two-and-a-half-year intermediate scope. Targeted close-up of suspect coatings, anode wastage and high-stress regions, without scaffolding the whole tank.

Cargo tank close-up surveys

CTSI on tankers and chemical carriers. Weld seams, upper stools, deckheads and bottom plating recorded at survey resolution from inside the tank.

Bulk carrier hold inspections

Cargo holds, top-side tanks and double-bottom spaces. ESP-compatible captures, ready for the Enhanced Survey Programme report.

Insufficient data is the single biggest reason a survey gets reopened.

Class is a workflow problem before it is a measurement problem. Scout 137 closes the workflow loop in the format the surveyor and the office both accept.

First pass

A submission the surveyor and the office reviewer accept without a re-collation round.

Days → hours

A cargo-tank close-up that needed staging and rope access, flown in a single visit.

Zero

Confined-space entries; the surveyor reviews from the data, not the staging.

One record

Close-up visual, UT and 3D, location-tagged in a single Scout Portal file.

See. Measure. Locate. To the IACS file format.

Three capture streams from one tethered drone. Scout Portal assembles them into the location-tagged, time-stamped, audit-trail-complete submission your surveyor already works from.

4K Zoom Camera

Close-up visual on weld seams, coating breakdown and pitting. Survey resolution from inside the space, no surveyor crawl-through required.

Ultrasonic Testing

Ultrasonic thickness measurements suitable as primary evidence for IACS class survey. Up to 100 readings per flight, each tied to its exact position on the plate.

3D LiDAR

Every reading anchored to the asset 3D model. No manual sketching, no ambiguity about which frame the UT shot came from.

A submission your surveyor and the office reviewer can rely on.

Scout 137 captures land in Scout Portal location-tagged, time-stamped and audit-trail-complete, in the structure class submissions expect, so the surveyor sees the evidence the same way the office reviewer does. It gives you data suitable for class-survey review under DNV, Bureau Veritas, LR, ABS and other IACS workflows.

“By using the Scout Portal, our civil marine structural integrity team could assess fresh data every day to ensure the inspection team onboard captured the needed data at the right quality.”
