UWILD — Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Drydocking — is an approved method by classification societies to perform hull and structural inspections underwater, replacing the need for physical dry docking in certain survey cycles.
Inspections are carried out by certified divers and supported by high-quality imaging, under the supervision of Class surveyors.
Full external hull structural assessment including plating, frames, and weld integrity.
Internal and external sea chest assessment, grating condition and fouling status.
Rudder clearances, blade condition, shaft seal inspection and propeller assessment.
Bow thruster tunnel, stabiliser fins, and all underwater appendage assessment.
Close-up video inspection of critical weld seams and structural connection points.
All confined and restricted areas requiring close visual inspection per Class requirements.
Coordination with vessel operators and Class surveyors to define scope, requirements, and safety protocols.
Certified divers perform detailed inspections with real-time video recording and live topside monitoring.
HD video and photographic evidence of all inspection areas compiled and annotated.
Comprehensive documentation submitted to Class surveyor for review, approval and certification.
