Vessel surveys
Vessel surveys and inspections are a critical part of maintaining efficient modern global trade and prevent harm to people and the environment.
Ensuring that vessels continue to be safe to operate over their lifetime can be an expensive and time-consuming activity with its own inherent risks. Our drone technology provides an alternative to the use of scaffolding and rope access for carrying out internal inspection of vessel cargo tanks and other interior areas.
Case Studies
A closer look at how the Scout 137 operates in various environments and market segments.
“ScoutDI is the most forward thinking drone technology company we have dealt with and we have a great dialogue with them regarding product development. They also have heavyweights such as DNV and Equinor standing behind them which put ScoutDI at the forefront of the industry”

One hour and nineteen minutes into an inspection, the counter read 4,516 images. On screen, a rotated point cloud showed the tank from above: roughly two-thirds of the sector already scanned, a light blue path tracing what was left. Nothing here was a replay or post-processing, this was the live...
Multiple Inspection Tasks. One Flight. Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement is only as good as the surface it’s taken from. That’s the boring truth everyone in NDT knows and too many workflows quietly work around. One continuous, controlled UTM workflow With the Scout 137 Gen 3...
Two questions often come up when we talk to security-minded customers. Here is how Scout 137 and the Scout Portal answer them. A physical tether carries both power and data, forming a fully wired path between drone and operator. Customers evaluating Scout 137 regularly raise two...
One of the key additions in Software Version 2.4.0 is Virtual Cage, a new anti-collision feature designed to make confined-space drone operations safer and easier. Unlike traditional anti-collision systems that rely only on what the LiDAR can see at any given moment, our Virtual Cage uses the...
High-density 3D LiDAR mapping at Cleveland Tin Projects, capturing underground workings safely and without human entry. Executive Summary Survey contractor: Southern Lidar Sales partner: Chironix (Australia) Location: Northwestern Tasmania Mine depth: > 400...
Safer turbine foundation inspections with better documentation Executive Summary Ørsted introduced ScoutDI’s tethered drone system for offshore wind turbine foundation inspections. The shift has supported safer inspection practices by reducing the need for confined...
Ultrasonic thickness measurements in confined spaces are often slowed down by fragmented workflows. Surface preparation, probe calibration, couplant handling and measurement are typically treated as separate steps, frequently requiring repositioning, manual intervention or multiple tool changes....
Large-Scale Concrete Structure Data Collection with the Photogrammetry-ready Scout 137 Drone System. Project highlights Efficiency gain: Drone inspection was ~50% faster with proprietary autonomy features from ScoutDI. Over 40 workdays saved. Safety: No scaffolding or work...
Designed for high-precision data capture in the most challenging environments, the new Scout 137 combines unlimited flight time, survey-grade LiDAR, optical zoom, and smarter UTM workflows in one robust, field-ready platform. What’s New in the Scout 137 — And Why It Matters ...
