This certification underpins Interocean's dedication to delivering high-quality, reliable services and reinforces its commitment to continuous innovation.

Interocean is one of the first companies worldwide to receive both ABS and DNV classifications for UTM drone inspections. These prestigious accreditations enable Interocean to further expand its global maritime services, while strengthening trust and collaboration with its customers.

Commenting on the announcement, Manager of Remote Inspections, Steven Henderson, said: “We are thrilled to have secured this certification amendment from ABS and DNV. With the integration of drone technology, we're set to revolutionize how ultrasonic thickness gauging surveys are completed offshore, offering a game-changing solution that will lower costs whilst minimizing operational risks.
