Ship Hull & Port Inspection by Coratia Technologies

Underwater robotics service

Ship Hull & Port Inspection

Ship and port underwater inspection uses ROV cameras, sonar, and survey tools to document hulls, propellers, rudders, quay walls, jetties, pilings, moorings, and navigational depth without relying only on diver access.

Overview

How the service supports asset decisions

Coratia supports vessel operators, ports, and marine engineering teams with inspection and survey data for submerged assets. Missions can focus on rapid visual checks, detailed condition records, sonar coverage, bathymetry, obstruction detection, or robotic cleaning, depending on the operational requirement.

Typical applications

  • Ship hull, propeller, rudder, sea chest, and appendage inspection
  • Quay walls, jetties, pilings, dolphins, and mooring structures
  • Berth pockets, approach channels, obstructions, and bathymetry
  • Marine growth assessment and configured robotic cleaning

Method

Inspection and survey workflow

  1. 01

    Operational planning

    Coordinate targets, vessel or berth status, access, traffic, visibility, and safety controls.

  2. 02

    Inspection setup

    Configure cameras, sonar, scaling, survey sensors, or cleaning tools for the task.

  3. 03

    Underwater mission

    Capture structured evidence across the agreed hull, structure, berth, or channel.

  4. 04

    Results package

    Deliver organized media, observations, and survey outputs for maintenance planning.

Outputs

Typical deliverables

  • Hull or structure video and still-image record
  • Observed fouling, damage, obstruction, or anomaly log
  • Sonar or bathymetric outputs where scoped
  • Inspection coverage and operating-condition summary

Direct answers

Frequently asked questions

Can an ROV inspect a vessel while it is afloat?

Many external hull, propeller, rudder, and appendage checks can be performed while a vessel is afloat, subject to port permission, vessel status, currents, machinery isolation, and safety procedures.

Can port inspections work in low visibility?

Yes. Imaging sonar can supplement cameras for quay walls, pilings, obstructions, and navigation when turbid water restricts visual range.

Can inspection and cleaning be combined?

They can be combined when the vehicle, tooling, surface, environmental controls, and operational approval are suitable for the required cleaning task.
