Interocean Marine Services has taken a key step in modernising the offshore industry by obtaining certifications from ABS and DNV for drone inspection on mobile marine units . This approval allows it to perform ultrasonic thickness measurements (UTM) via drones such as the advanced Elios 3 UT , positioning the company as a leader in remote inspection solutions.
Thanks to this technology, Interocean promises to deliver results faster and more safely. The Elios 3 UT drone is capable of providing readings up to ten times faster than traditional methods , which means a significant reduction in inspection times and an increase in operational efficiency. This innovative technology reinforces the company’s commitment to continuous improvement and the reduction of operational risks.

Key certifications for drone inspection
ABS and DNV accreditations not only confirm the quality of services offered by Interocean, but also allow the company to expand its services globally. These certifications allow the company to carry out inspections in various regions, including the United Kingdom, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Norway, thus increasing its reach in the offshore market.
Steven Henderson, Remote Inspection Manager at Interocean, expressed his excitement about this achievement.
The integration of drones into our operations is a real innovation. We can offer our clients a service that optimizes both time and costs, while reducing risks in highly dangerous environments.
Innovation and safety in asset inspection
With this technology, Interocean is setting new standards of safety and efficiency for the energy and maritime sectors. The drone fleet minimizes downtime, allowing inspections to be performed without the need to interrupt critical operations . This approach reduces risks to personnel and provides a more cost-effective solution for the inspection of complex structures in offshore environments.
Interocean continues to expand, with plans to grow into new regions and a wide range of services ranging from planning to asset decommissioning . This certification strengthens its position in the industry and marks the beginning of a new era in remote inspection.
