3D Laser Scanning & Marine Digital Twins

Precision Data. Smarter Refits. Less Time in Yard.

Distance is no longer a barrier to precision engineering. While your vessel remains active on charter in the Caribbean, a European shipyard can simultaneously map out its next major refit or design bespoke structural upgrades using a high-fidelity Digital Twin. In collaboration with our specialist partners at Digital Dry Dock, we bridge the gap between your current location and future maintenance needs with total accuracy.

We offer surveying without the downtime. Our non-intrusive 3D laser scanning can be performed even while a ship is shrouded in protective plastic or hidden behind scaffolding, ensuring your operational workflow remains uninterrupted. By delivering this vital data to remote stakeholders instantly, we help you trim project durations and significantly lower overall capital expenditure.

Our Digital Scanning Solutions

Our services are delivered across these following areas:

Digital Twin & Virtual Information Modelling (VIM)
We create an exact geometric replica of any marine asset to serve as the ultimate 3D management database. This ‘Digital Twin’ integrates point clouds, CAD models, and rich media, enabling seamless remote refit planning, reverse engineering, and precise maintenance estimations while the vessel is still in service.

Expert Witness & Insurance Support
Utilising advanced measurement technology, we provide the technical documentation required for insurance claims and warranty disputes. Our team offers a rapid global response, producing detailed 3D drawings and concise reports to accurately quantify damage or resolve legal conflicts.

Hull Lines & Stability Analysis
We perform exhaustive hull measurements using 3D laser scanners to produce professional 2D or 3D lines plans. This high-accuracy data is then translated into formats perfectly suited for computer-generated stability models.

Pit Stop: Performance Yacht Tuning
Gain a unique insight into your yacht’s characteristics with a detailed analysis of the hull, appendages, and rig symmetry. Our practical and theoretical expertise helps owners and crew optimise rating certificates and identify performance-enhancing modifications.

Specialist CAD & Draughting Services
Our backroom support offers a comprehensive range of CAD formats with a fast turnaround. We excel at converting complex point cloud information into usable, highly organised 2D templates or 3D models for reverse engineering.

Interior Fit-out & Spatial Planning
Maximise the ‘net space’ of your interior refit by scanning bare structural areas before work begins. We produce accurate 3D CAD models that allow for the meticulous pre-planning of pipework and service routing, ensuring every millimetre is utilised efficiently.

Classic Boat Preservation
We take immense pride in supporting the restoration of our nautical heritage. Our team travels to remote coastal locations to scan derelict wooden vessels, producing the precise lines plans required for authentic restoration projects or the construction of accurate replicas.

Marine Facility Infrastructure
Our scanning capabilities extend to docks, quays, shipyards, and tide gates. If your marine facility requires maintenance or major structural modifications, our high-precision surveys help streamline the engineering process and reduce onsite errors.

Component Reverse Engineering
Using state-of-the-art technology, we can scan complex, legacy parts that are no longer manufactured. We create precise 3D CAD models and work with trusted CNC machinist partners to produce bespoke, fit-for-purpose components on short notice.

Confined Space & Tank Scanning
Our personnel are fully trained in safe working practices for the scanning of ship tanks and internal structures. We provide rapid and accurate volume measurements and internal surface area data, which is essential for Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) installations.
