Ship inspections are time-consuming and costly. Drones are used to inspect hard-to-reach areas of ships, such as hulls, cargo holds, and superstructures, saving time and reducing risks to human inspectors. Drones are also used to inspect port infrastructure, such as cranes, docks, and underwater structures, with specialized underwater drones (ROVs). Confined space drones equipped with LiDAR can collect data to assess volumetric capacity and surface area of a ship’s tanks. Lastly, new UTM payloads on drones allow for the measurement of a ship’s hull or tank wall thickness.
