In this video, David shares the five major benefits of using the Elios 3 UT drone for vessel inspections. By removing tank entries, 3DTS can work safer and faster and reach places at height without having to deploy rope access technicians in confined spaces or build scaffolding. This leads to a higher cost efficiency and major safety improvement. #MartimeSafety
In this video, you will learn:
- The benefits of using #UAVs for inspections in the maritime industry
- How the Elios 3 drone is used to collect close-up visuals and UT measurements
- How drones can improve safety and efficiency during vessel inspections
Watch the full video to discover how UT drones are transforming vessel inspections by enhancing safety, speeding up data collection, and delivering precise and localized ultrasonic testing results. See how maritime UAVs access hard-to-reach areas efficiently, reduce costs, and provide real-time insights, redefining the future of ship inspections. Join us as we explore the cutting-edge technology behind #MaritimeUAV, #ShipUTM, and #RIT in maritime safety and maintenance.

Elios 3 is a UT inspection drone made for confined space inspections and NDT inspections in vessels. It can be used as a maritime drone for hull inspections, ballast tank inspections, and cargo tank inspections, or as an emergency response drone.

*Certification from a classification society cannot be provided directly to a technology/tool but rather to the data it collects and the company that is using it. In this video, class-approved drone refers to the data collected by the UAV, the Elios 3 UT, which meets classification society standards. For this reason, 3DTS was able to get 7 certifications to use the Elios 3 UT drone for ship inspections.
Huge thanks to David and 3DTS for sharing their knowledge on #MaritimeDrones and the approval process for UAVs with classification societies. Many thanks also to Hanna and the ROG Ship Repair Yard for their insights and hospitality.
