Hull Continuous Supervision
Continuous supervision over technical condition of ship's hull is long and thorough process with a number of steps and procedures:
- Keeping technical database of the ship
- Continuous monitoring and assessing condition of paint coating over the whole ship
- Arranging location of points for hull thickness measurements, as well as rationalization of a range of thickness measurements
- Ultrasonic detection of defects with accompanying analysis of thickness measurements
- Localization and identification of possible failures, assessment of their potential impact to structural safety, as well as proposals of practical ways of repairing the failures
- Analysis of technical condition of hull repair structure (determination of critical zones of the structure)
- Planning the range of hull repair work harmonized with ship operation schedule
- Elaboration of engineering processes and documentation of repair work
- Supervision over running repair operations in a shipyard
- Assessment of costs and labour consumption of repair operations
- Guidelines for hull inspection to be carried out by ship’s crew itself
