Our team inspects and maintains all hatch cover types, including folding, rolling, pontoon, lift-away, and piggyback designs. Services are delivered in compliance with IACS, SOLAS, and class society standards. Using a combination of visual inspections, ultrasonic leak detection (ULD), and pressure testing, we identify potential leaks and mechanical deficiencies before they compromise operations.
