Inspection & NDT Services

Inspection and NDT service providers carry out non-destructive testing and physical inspection of a vessel's hull and machinery without dismantling or damaging the item examined — ultrasonic testing (UT) for thickness gauging and flaw detection, magnetic particle inspection (MPI) and dye penetrant inspection (DPI) for surface cracking, and radiography for weld and casting integrity.

Work commonly covers hull plating and tank thickness surveys ahead of class renewal, weld inspection following structural repairs, and crankshaft, shaft, and pressure-vessel testing, with technicians issuing a report of readings and findings rather than a class or statutory certificate. This is specialist testing labour, distinct from the classification society whose survey the results often support and from the marine surveyor commissioned for a condition or cargo assessment. Buyers commission NDT ahead of drydock or class survey, comparing providers on technician certification, equipment calibration, and turnaround of results. It sits within the Survey, Inspection & Certification category group on PortProcure.
