Borescopes, videoscopes, fiberscopes and pipe cameras are used to remotely inspect a variety of internal areas on large commercial ships. These ships range from large pleasure yachts to cruise lines and oil tankers. Remote visual inspection is used to ensure that the ship is in good condition.
Remote Visual Inspection of Ships Ensures a Safe Voyage
Remote Visual Inspection Applications Include:
Diesel Engines and Turbines. Borescope inspections of engines and turbines on commercial ships is essential to ensure that the power plants are functioning properly and can continue to safely operate without unnecessary maintenance.
Grey water lines. Commercial ships need to inspect long lengths of gray water lines using long push or pipe inspection cameras. The ship board pipes can be checked for corrosion, pitting and prevent potential problems.
Azipods. Newer cruises lines are fitted with Azipods that have self contained electric motors that run beneath the water line. Videoscopes or video borescopes are used to ensure that these systems are free of debris, corrosion, erosion and are in good condition.
Bulkheads and confined spaces. A large commercial ship or cruise line is filled with tightly confined spaces that need to be periodically checked for condition. a video borescope can easily access the smallest area and check for corrosion and other defects.
