Applied Technical Services offers ship hull inspection services to ensure ships can maintain safe and effective operation while meeting applicable standards. We use proven nondestructive testing methods to assess both ship hull thickness and any hull defects or damage that may be present. Hull damage could potentially grow into a larger safety hazard for both the personnel and cargo on board if left unchecked.

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing
To verify if hull thickness has been affected by corrosion, our NDT experts can perform ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) as part of the ship hull inspection. UTT sends soundwaves directly into the test material and interprets the properties of the reflecting wave to report a thickness reading.
