Since 2006, we have been delivering the highest quality UTM services for ships with a strong focus on reliability, flexibility, and customer satisfaction.

Reliable UTM Services

At HARBORT KLAIPEDA, we provide ultrasonic thickness measurement services for all types of seagoing vessels. Our inspections help shipowners and technical managers monitor hull condition, identify corrosion, and maintain compliance with classification society requirements.

We use modern ship hull ultrasonic testing equipment to carry out accurate hull thickness measurements without causing damage to vessel structures.

Our ultrasonic thickness measurements for ships help identify steel wastage, corrosion damage, structural weakening, areas requiring repair and long-term maintenance concerns. 

We understand the importance of accurate measurements and practical reporting for vessel maintenance planning and safe ship operations.

UTM Services for All Types of Ships

Our company has extensive experience working with a wide range of vessels — from small fishing boats and tugboats to large tankers and bulk carriers of Aframax size.

We regularly provide UTM inspection for ships including cargo vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, offshore support vessels, passenger vessels, tugboats, fishing vessels and container ships

Our skilled personnel also have strong experience working with special-purpose fleets such as semi-submersible lay barges, semi-submersible pipelay vessels, PSV vessels, AHTS vessels, ERRV vessels, Subsea support vessels. This broad industry experience allows us to adapt to different vessel structures, operating conditions, and inspection requirements.

Dry Dock UTM Inspection & In-Service Surveys

HARBORT KLAIPEDA provides flexible inspection attendance based on customer operational requirements.

Dry Dock UTM Inspection

During dry dock operations, we carry out detailed hull thickness measurement inspections on:

  • Hull plating

  • Bottom structures

  • Ballast tanks

  • Cargo holds

  • Deck structures

  • Internal steel components

These inspections support repair planning and classification surveys.

In Service UTM Survey for Ship

We also provide in service UTM survey for ship inspections while vessels remain operational. Our team can attend ships during port stays, cargo operations, voyage schedules and planned maintenance periods

This flexible approach helps shipping companies reduce downtime while maintaining vessel inspection schedules.

Ship Hull Corrosion Inspection & Condition Assessment

Corrosion remains one of the main structural concerns for seagoing vessels. Our ship hull corrosion inspection services help vessel owners identify early signs of deterioration before they become major operational issues.

As part of our ship condition assessment survey services, we evaluate corrosion levels, structural condition, steel plate thickness, areas exposed to excessive wear and repair priorities. These inspections help shipowners maintain vessel safety, improve maintenance planning, and extend operational life.
