Overview

QMS Marine Inspection Services supports owners and operators of commercial shipping, port infrastructure, offshore assets and marine fabrication. Typical requirements include hull thickness measurement, weld and surface NDT, coating condition assessment and fabrication quality control.

Before work begins, QMS confirms the governing standard, surveyor involvement, personnel approvals and reporting format. Class or flag acceptance is project-specific and is not implied by this general service description.

Class-aligned, owner-aligned

Independent marine inspection and NDT for civilian and dual-use assets

Where QMS is engaged by the owner or principal, the inspection plan and reporting line can be set independently of the yard. Accredited NDT is limited to the applicable published site scope.

1

Survey scoping with the owner / surveyor

Pre-survey scoping with the asset owner, class surveyor and (where applicable) flag administration to confirm the inspection plan, the test method matrix, the access plan and the reporting format.

2

Hull thickness surveys

Ultrasonic thickness measurement on hull plate, longitudinal members, frames and tank boundaries, reported to the agreed thickness register.

3

Structural NDT

Magnetic particle, dye penetrant and ultrasonic inspection of weldments, rudders, stern frames, deck fittings, bollards, derricks and lifting appliances - to AS/NZS, ISO and class-society codes.

4

Coating condition surveys

NACE-trained coating inspectors assess the antifouling, anticorrosive and tank lining systems, document blistering / undercutting / mechanical damage, and define the recoat / patch scope.

5

Marine fabrication QC

In-shop and on-vessel weld surveillance, fit-up inspection, NDT and PMI for marine fabrication scopes - newbuild, refit and conversion. See also our Fabrication Quality Control programme.

6

Agreed reporting format

Thickness registers, NDT records, coating reports, photographs and sketch overlays compiled to the project-specific format agreed before work.
