Why Hull Inspections Matter (and Their Traditional Challenges)

Hull inspection is not just a legal requirement; it's a critical safety measure to ensure a ship's technical condition complies with all applicable rules, regulations, and standards. Regular inspections guarantee operational safety and prevent damage to the marine ecosystem. These inspections, especially on underwater parts, are often the most difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Traditional methods relying on commercial divers present significant challenges, including:

Logistical Hurdles: Uncontrollable inspection plans due to appointment requirements.

Operational Limitations: Limited diving depth and time for commercial divers.

High Costs and Risks: High costs and uncontrollable security risks.

Hidden Dangers: Infrequent inspections pose safety risks to the hull.

Turbid Water Visibility: Low visibility in anchorage waters obstructs diver sight.

The CHASING Solution: Enhanced Safety, Efficiency, and Cost Savings

CHASING INNOVATION, a world-leading company in underwater drone R&D and production, has developed a range of ROVs specifically to address these challenges. With 7 generations of self-developed products known for their low cost, high performance, easy operation, and outstanding portability, CHASING ROVs are already used in over 100 countries.

The CHASING M2 S, M2 PRO, and M2 PRO MAX models offer distinct advantages for the hull inspection industry:

Enhanced Safety: Replaces manual underwater inspection, eliminating risks for divers and evaluating potential dangers.

Ensured Compliance: Ensures ships adhere to safety regulations, avoiding penalties and ensuring safety and reliability.

Significant Cost Savings: Identifies issues early, reduces downtime, lowers fuel consumption, cuts inspection costs, and decreases labour expenses.

Raise Reputation: Demonstrates accountability and builds client trust through routine safety and compliance inspections.
