Structural confidence from survey to survey.
Structured hull integrity management with compartment-level inspection recording, ultrasonic thickness measurement tracking, coating condition monitoring, and risk-based assessment. Findings flow directly into dry-dock specifications through VOLAX DryDock.
A UT reading taken today is worthless in a PDF on a superintendent’s laptop next year.
Hull integrity is a decade-long trending story. Point-in-time surveys captured in isolated reports lose their trending power the moment they leave the surveyor’s hands. VOLAX Hull captures the reading in-place, plots it against history at that exact location, and surfaces the accelerating corrosion at that specific transverse frame before it becomes a Condition of Class.
Structural intelligence, compartment by compartment
Compartment-level inspection
Every compartment (cargo hold, ballast tank, void space, cofferdam, engine room) modelled with its structural elements. Observation recording per element, per inspection.
Coating condition assessment
Coating breakdown percentage per compartment, per area. Deterioration trending across surveys. Re-coating projected against yard planning windows.
Corrosion monitoring
Corrosion location history at named structural points. Cyclical loading and cathodic protection effectiveness tracked. Critical structural areas flagged.
UT thickness recording & trending
Ultrasonic thickness measurements captured against structural element specification. Trend charts per measurement point. Class-diminution limits enforced.
Risk matrices with criticality
Each finding assigned criticality and risk code. Fleet-level risk map. Structural risk reporting for owner and class.
Equipment tracking
Anodes (sacrificial and ICCP), pipes, valves, ladders, heating coils. Location, condition, replacement cycle, and remaining life per component.
Steel weight estimation
Renewal steel weight and surface area calculated from inspection findings — feeding yard tender in VOLAX DryDock with accurate scope estimates.
Fleet & sister vessel comparison
Compare structural condition across sister vessels. Identify design-related patterns. Inform newbuild specifications.
Photo documentation with annotation
In-situ photos with annotation tools. Finding cross-reference. Time-stamped evidence for class discussion and warranty support.
Class survey integration
Class survey items and Conditions of Class tracked through the platform. COC-to-repair-to-close linkage preserved for the vessel life.
Hull feeds the dock, and the dock closes the loop
Hull integrity as a data story, not a PDF pile
Book a walkthrough. Bring your last UT survey report — we’ll import it, plot it against trending, and show you what the platform would flag before the next survey window.
