In-Water Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) Testing — Genoa

Ultrasonic thickness testing measures remaining steel plate thickness through the coating, without grinding a bare-metal spot — the standard method for tracking corrosion and wastage against a vessel's original scantlings. Every sounding we take is logged against its exact position, then pinned directly onto the vessel's 3D digital twin, so a thinning trend across a ballast tank or a boot-top run is visible as a map, not a table of coordinates someone has to mentally place.

Why it matters in Genoa

Italy's largest port by cargo volume and a historic shipbuilding and repair hub, home to the classification society RINA.

A working port with this much vessel traffic and repair activity generates a steady, genuine need for in-water hull survey, class inspection support, and quay condition monitoring — not a one-off requirement.

Deliverable

A UT sounding report with every reading pinned to its location on the 3D model, plus the raw data set.
