Marine VIM and Digital Twins
VESSEL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
3D Laser Scanning has become a cornerstone of modern Marine and Vessel Information Management, replacing tedious manual measurements with high-precision digital captures.
Nirray Surveys and Laser Scanning is officially a trusted partner of Leica Geosystems Survey Equipment and Velodyne LiDAR Solutions. We are also a RICS Tech Partner.
Marine Survey Services
Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS)
Nirray Surveys brings expert experience to the replacement and retrofitting of Ballast Water Treatment Systems on existing vessels. They possess a deep understanding of the specific project requirements and regulatory standards necessary to bring a ship into compliance, and using our Laser Scanning capabilities in order to de-risk the retrofit process.
VIM & Digital Twins
We provide high-fidelity geometric data sets for any Marine asset or Vessel, typically initiated through comprehensive Laser Scanning (Reality Capture) surveys or BIM model. By integrating granular data directly into these models, we develop sophisticated 'digital twins' that function as centralised 3D databases. An accurate, real-time digital twin serves as a premier asset management solution for operational and engineering applications.
Damage Assessment
Nirray Surveys provides a dedicated Emergency Response service for rapid ship damage assessment, ensuring critical technical support is available when it is needed most. Our specialists are equipped to thoroughly assess and document the extent of structural or mechanical damage, providing the precise data and comprehensive reporting required for insurance claims, repair specifications, and regulatory compliance.
Passenger Ship
Refit Surveys
Nirray Surveys provides specialist laser scanning and marine classification surveys to streamline the refit of passenger and cruise vessels. By capturing millimetre-accurate data, we create a comprehensive digital twin that allows designers to work within a precise virtual environment, meaning less ship visits. By minimising travel requirements and manual measurement errors, our surveys deliver substantial cost savings throughout the refit lifecycle.
Vessel Condition
Surveys
Nirray Surveys delivers comprehensive Vessel Condition Surveys by leveraging advanced 3D laser scanning and high-precision digital survey methods. These technologies allow for the meticulous capture of structural defects and dilapidation across any ship’s hull or internal compartments. This data-driven approach ensures a robust technical record of a vessel’s current state. Beyond technical reporting, Nirray Surveys also provides expert witness services to support maritime legal proceedings.
Ship Conversion
Nirray Surveys provides expert digital survey and reality capture services, utilising high-precision 3D laser scanning for complex ship conversions. They deliver millimetre-accurate data across all vessel types, including the demanding environments of petrochemical oil rigs, passenger ships, military vessels, cruise liners, yachts, cargo ships, and heavy industry marine assets. This technical approach significantly reduces engineering risks and minimises costly downtime during the refit process.
