ACFM Weld & Hull Crack Inspection — Kotor Bay

Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) detects and sizes surface-breaking cracks in steel through the coating, without the surface preparation magnetic particle inspection requires — well suited to in-water structural welds where grinding back to bare metal isn't practical. Every crack indication found is sized and mapped directly onto the vessel's 3D digital twin, alongside the video record of the read.

Why it matters in Kotor Bay

A deep natural bay on the Adriatic holding both the UNESCO-listed old town of Kotor and Tivat, where the former Arsenal naval shipyard was redeveloped into Porto Montenegro, one of the Adriatic's largest superyacht marinas.

A former naval shipyard turned large-scale superyacht marina means a genuine, standing local market for in-water hull survey, class inspection support, and routine marina seabed clearance.

Deliverable

A crack-sizing report with every indication mapped onto the 3D model, without stripping the coating.
