Vessel Inspection with
the SmartDive ROV
the SmartDive ROV
Efficiency and Safety
Sea and river transportation remain key methods for moving goods around the world, making the technical condition and safety of vessels especially important. Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) are an excellent solution for addressing these challenges.
The SmartDive ROV is a reliable tool for vessel inspection — improving safety while reducing operational costs.

The SmartDive ROV, equipped with a sonar system, enables rapid inspection of a vessel’s underwater hull.
Using a side-scan sonar, the operator can survey large areas even in conditions of low visibility. When suspicious or unusual objects appear on the sonar image, the ROV is directed to them for visual verification using its
Full HD camera.

Enhanced Safety
Sonar images of a yacht inspection taken from different angles using a 1200 kHz side-scan sonar.
When paired with an underwater acoustic positioning system, the operator can track both the ROV’s position and the location of detected objects in real time.
The key advantage is that inspections are carried out without diver involvement — the operator works safely from the surface, significantly improving overall safety levels.

Cost Reduction
Every hour a vessel is out of service for inspection results in financial losses. Traditional methods, such as dry docking or using divers, require substantial time and resources.
The SmartDive ROV allows for detailed underwater hull inspections quickly, efficiently, and at minimal cost. This reduces downtime and supports timely maintenance and repair decisions — improving vessel profitability.

Regular inspections using the SmartDive ROV also help determine the optimal schedule for hull cleaning and painting. Marine biofouling increases fuel consumption, while regular monitoring of the hull’s condition prevents unnecessary expenses.
Additionally, the use of SmartDive ROVs helps detect structural defects at an early stage, reducing repair costs and extending the vessel’s service life.
