Class Inspection: we inspect the condition of your vessel!
For your vessel and its maintenance, it is important to be clear in what condition it is in. The class inspection of DIVER Underwater Contractors B.V. focuses on the part of your vessel that is underwater. Because your vessel is mainly exposed to many different influences underwater, an optimal condition is important. This inspection gives you as the client an accurate picture of the current condition of the underwater hull, without it having to go to dry dock.
During the inspection, in the presence of the class surveyor, the diver will give you a detailed view of the underwater areas. Critical points are inspected and observations are recorded of, among other things:
- Rudder
- Propeller
- Sea chest
DIVER Underwater Contractors B.V. is approved by the following class societies for carrying out IW surveys:
Insightful report on your vessel
All points are assessed and mapped with both photos and a textual explanation, bundled in a report. During the class inspection, irregularities are immediately reported to the surveyor and client. If these observations are important for the continuity of the certificate, a solution will be looked at that is most suitable for the current situation to repair this, temporarily or otherwise. In this way we ensure that your ship is out of service as short as possible.
