Class/owner’s underwater surveys

Survey deadlines approach fast, but dry-docking is expensive and time-consuming. AKMDS is certified by majority of the IACS Class.

Our Expertise

We perform approved in-water surveys with full documentation, helping vessels stay compliant without dry-docking.

How We Work

1. Pre-Survey Coordination & Requirements Check
We coordinate directly with the vessel owner and classification society to confirm survey scope, documentation needs, and compliance criteria before deployment.
2. Detailed Underwater Inspection
Our certified divers perform a full visual UW CCTV examination of the hull, propeller, rudder, sea chests, anodes, and other critical areas using HD cameras and calibrated lighting.
3. Real-Time Video & Condition Reporting (U/W CCTV)
Inspectors review live video feeds from the divers, marking observations, confirming measurements, and capturing evidence for class approval.
4. Complete Survey Submission
We compile a clear, class-ready report with photos, video, and professional notes — enabling smooth approval without the need for dry-docking.
