Service: Inspection and reporting
Underwater inspection and reporting

Robotic underwater inspection of vessels, offshore assets and port infrastructure across the GCC, delivered as a single forwardable documentation pack.

An inspection’s commercial value depends on its acceptance by the parties required to act on it: the class society, the charterer, the flag administration, the insurer or the regulator. BluFlow’s inspections and reports are produced to meet that standard, providing structured, indexed and traceable documentation suitable for onward distribution without amendment.

Typical engagement scenarios

Scenario 01

Pre-charter condition record

Charterers may require current hull condition documentation prior to fixture. BluFlow provides a dated condition pack within the agreed timeframe, supporting commercial negotiation with independently verified evidence at the point of fixture.

Scenario 02

Post-event condition assessment

Following grounding, contact or suspected damage, owners, P&I clubs and class societies typically require independent condition assessment. A single inspection pack supports parallel review by all parties without duplication of effort.

Scenario 03

Dispute and warranty documentation

Hull condition disputes at off-hire, redelivery or warranty proceedings are typically resolved on the strength of contemporaneous evidence. BluFlow’s inspection packs are structured to meet evidentiary standards from the point of capture.
