Cargo holds & cargo tanks
Bulk-carrier holds, container vessels, oil and chemical tanker tanks. Coating breakdown, pitting corrosion and structural cracks, surveyed without staging.
Inspect cargo holds, ballast tanks and FPSOs, without sending anyone in.
Scout 137 captures class-ready inspection data inside the spaces that traditionally need scaffolding, gas-free certification, rope-access teams and days of standby. One flight. No entry. A complete, location-tagged record your class surveyor can review.
Where Scout 137 flies
Four asset families. One drone. Every survey.
Ballast tanks
Coating condition, anode wastage and plate thickness in the most confined and corrosion-prone spaces on the vessel.
FPSO & floating production
Storage and cargo tanks, machinery spaces. Live operations and hot-work restrictions, flown without a shutdown.
Offshore wind foundations
Monopile interiors, transition pieces and jacket cells. Confined spaces tens of metres from the access hatch, captured in single flights.

The maritime inspection infographic
Bulk carriers, oil & chemical tankers, class-survey reporting — how Scout 137 covers each, in one PDF.
The challenge today
Maritime inspection wasn’t built for the schedule you operate on.
Days → hours
Scaffolding and rope-team mobilisation per hold, replaced by a single flight.
Up to 80%
Lower inspection cost than staging and rope access, the access bill goes with the scaffolding.
Zero
Confined-space entries when the drone records the evidence instead of a person.
One flight
Visual, thickness and 3D in a single flight, while the vessel keeps working.
And there are no second chances: once the tank is closed, you don’t go back in. Scout 137 captures it right the first time.
How Scout 137 changes it
See. Measure. Locate. From the deck, in one flight.
Visual, thickness and 3D data from one tethered drone, streamed live to the surveyor on deck, then processed in Scout Portal for the class submission file.

4K Zoom Camera
Weld seams, coating breakdown and pitting corrosion, captured at survey resolution in spaces no one can safely enter.

Measure
Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic thickness on first contact, with surface prep and couplant built in. Readings suitable as primary evidence for plate-thickness records.
ExploreGas Detection
Continuous flammable-gas monitoring on every flight: 14 flammable gases including methane, propane, and ethylene. Two-tier LEL alerts logged with flight data; a safety supplement, not a substitute for confined-space clearance.
ExploreMore payloads coming
The modular payload bay is built to grow. We won't spoil what's next, but we listen to what the industry whispers about. Got an inspection problem we should solve?
Locate
3D LiDAR
Every reading tagged to a position in the asset’s 3D model. A class-ready point-of-interest record, no manual sketching.
ExplorePoint Cloud
Every flight exports a survey-grade point cloud of the asset interior, flight path included. Drop it straight into digital twins, BIM workflows, CAD models, and as-built documentation.
ExploreA record you can trust
Evidence that your surveyor and integrity team can rely on.
Every capture is time-stamped and pinned to its position in a 3D model, assembled in Scout Portal into one complete, repeatable record, validated live on site so findings are confirmed before the crew stands down. It gives you data suitable for class-survey review (DNV, Bureau Veritas, ABS, Lloyd’s Register).
Field record
“ScoutDI is the most forward thinking drone technology company we have dealt with… They also have heavyweights such as DNV and Equinor standing behind them, which put ScoutDI at the forefront of the industry.”
