Clear Waters and Ideal Conditions for Hull Status and In-Water Surveys (IWS) in Norway

Why Norway is Ideal for Hull Inspections and IWS
- Clear Waters and Minimal Marine Growth Norway’s coastal waters are known for their clarity and relatively low levels of marine growth compared to more temperate climates. This makes it easier to conduct hull inspections with higher visibility, reducing the time and effort required for divers or ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) to assess a vessel’s condition. Clear waters allow for more accurate reporting on hull status, identifying any fouling, corrosion, or damage.
- Stable Weather Conditions Norwegian waters offer reliable weather patterns for much of the year, especially in key maritime hubs like Bergen, Stavanger, and Oslo. Stable conditions are crucial for the safety and efficiency of underwater inspections. Calm seas and predictable weather ensure that in-water surveys are carried out smoothly, minimizing delays and operational downtime.
- Expertise in the Maritime Industry Norway has a long-standing maritime tradition and is home to some of the world’s leading marine technology providers. By conducting inspections in Norwegian waters, shipowners gain access to the most skilled professionals in the field, from ROV-pilots to engineers, who have extensive experience with both local and international vessels.
