Comprehensive Tank Inspection Services: Inspections Tailored to Your Requirements

Our comprehensive inspection services cover both the tank vessel and the protective frame, which shields the tank from damage during shipping and handling. We offer flexible options for inspections, allowing us to either witness the testing performed by your staff or a third-party testing company, or conduct the testing ourselves while providing witnessing services. Our services fully comply with the applicable rules, regulations, and standards and can be tailored to meet your specific company requirements.

Beyond Routine Inspections for Complete Peace of Mind

In addition to the 2.5-yearly or 5-yearly inspections, we offer a range of additional services upon request. These services include valve testing, tank vessel thickness gauging, and seal and part replacement. If needed, we can also perform inspections of the frame, including non-destructive testing as required. For more extensive maintenance tasks such as blasting and painting, we work with carefully selected partners to ensure high-quality results. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive solution as a one-stop shop for your tank fleet, so please discuss any additional requirements with us, and we will propose suitable options.

Digitally Signed Reports and Available 24/7 Through our ISO 27001 Secured Client Portal

All our inspection reports fully comply with international requirements and can be issued on behalf of ABS if needed. These reports are sent and signed digitally, and they are accessible 24/7 through our client portal, which is hosted on our ISO 27001 secured database. This ensures secure and convenient access to your inspection reports whenever you need them.
