Deep Trekker's Ultimate Hull Inspection Package
Kiara Vallier | November 11, 2016
In previous posts, we've explored why hull inspections are important and have examined the challenges and costs that vessel owners encounter maintaining a ship. We’ve looked at issues such as the transfer of contraband attached to hulls and the inadvertent delivery of invasive species into new waters.
Frequent inspections of your hull are vital to reduce corrosion, prevent contraband trading, control invasive species transfer, and identify abrasions and problems developing on the bottom of one’s ship. Frequent inspections help control costs. Traditional, relatively expensive inspection methods such as divers or dry docking often result in less frequent inspections. Resulting deterioration of hull integrity will eventually create expensive maintenance challenges.
Deep Trekker's remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) can be the perfect inspection solution for ship owners and operators. For more information on maintaining your hull's integrity, follow the link here.

Deep Trekker can create the perfect ROV package with a number of fantastic add-ons and options for all of your unique hull inspection needs.

Optional sensors allow operators to view the ROV's depth, heading and pitch and the water temperature on the ROV's handheld viewing screen. These added capabilities assist in making it the perfect tool for frequent and effective hull inspections. Recognizing where the ROV is located in the water is easy with the DTG2 Smart package.
