Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Survey – Advanced Cargo Protection by Zeus Marine and Cargo Solutions LLC
At Zeus Marine and Cargo Solutions LLC, our ultrasonic hatch cover surveys employ cutting-edge technology to assess the integrity of your ship’s hatch covers. This non-destructive inspection ensures watertight security, prevents cargo damage, and supports compliance with international safety standards.
What Are Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Surveys?
An ultrasonic hatch cover survey is a precision testing method that uses ultrasonic equipment to inspect the condition and integrity of hatch covers. By emitting ultrasonic waves and analyzing their reflections, this non-invasive technique identifies defects, wear, or thinning in the steel plates of hatch covers. These surveys are essential for safeguarding cargo and ensuring a vessel’s compliance with industry regulations.
