Classification societies advancing artificial intelligence-derived ship survey technology
- AI combined with latest drone technology will provide big safety benefits, by further reducing the need for physical inspections of enclosed spaces
- Bureau Veritas is rolling out its Augmented Surveyor 3D system that deploys drones into confined spaces after first deployment earlier this year on board an FPSO operated by TotalEnergies
- DNV expects wider commercial application of AI drone surveys to be in place within the next two years
Advancements in remote survey techniques will not only provide significant safety benefits, but will also reduce costs and vessel down time
