The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers marine drone inspection services, enabling us to evaluate hard-to-reach marine structures and vessels. Maritime environments are difficult environments to inspect, so inspectors must utilize advanced technologies to effectively examine these environments for signs of concern. Fortunately, our marine drone inspectors have both the expertise and access to state-of-the-art technology to conduct comprehensive inspections in marine environments.
What is Marine Drone Inspection?
Marine drone inspections are a modern alternative to more traditional marine inspection methodologies. Drone inspections allow experts to use unmanned devices with specialized cameras and sensors to evaluate numerous materials, structures, and environments, including:
- Hull inspections
- Tank inspections
- Underwater inspections
Inspectors use drone technology to identify the presence of corrosion and to monitor its growth. Drone footage can be used both in real time and saved and used for comparative data.

The Benefits of Marine Drone Inspections
Marine drone inspections have become increasingly popular across the maritime industry. An unmanned drone offers many unique benefits over conventional inspection methods. The first, and perhaps most obvious, of which is that drones eliminate the need for human deployment, which greatly reduces the risk of harm to an operation’s personnel. This also reduces the time it takes to begin the inspection process, because there are often fewer moving parts and outside factors to consider. Quick mobilization enables inspectors to start and conclude on a quicker timeline, greatly reducing the downtime an operation may experience. Overall, drone inspections offer a cost-efficient alternative to more traditional methodologies while also improving an inspector’s ability to acquire data.
