Hatch Cover Tightness Test
Hatch cover leakage and wetting damage to cargo are a persistent problem in the marine industry. We can carry out ultrasound tests to confirm that hatch covers are weathertight and compliant with governing regulations by using the most trusted and new ultrasonic hatch cover testing equipment from SDT. The SDT HATCHecker comes with a cutting edge technology with type approval certificate. We have certified operators and our equipment are always calibrated as per the industry standard. Our hatch cover tightness test reports are acceptable by wide range of stakeholders such as Charterers, Insurers, Class surveyors and Flag State inspectors.

Sailing Navigation Assessment

All shipping companies carry out some form of navigational audits. This is usually done as part of a wider ISM audit, and whilst some companies do specify that navigation has to be audited whilst the vessel is at sea, it is often the case that these audits are conducted in port.
The idea is that a Navigation Assessment differs from an audit in that it allows the real time taken to carry out navigational activities to set the pace of the assessment, rather than compressing an audit into the time available. The aim is to have a thorough look at how a vessel is being navigated and provide guidance and assistance where required. Our sailing navigation assessment is carried out during a short coastal sailing of 3-5 days duration. This gives us the time required to carry out a thorough assessment and provide a comprehensive report and onboard mentoring, if required. Contact us for details.
