MARINE SURVEY EXPERTISE

Supporting the complete steel renewal process

MME Group has decades of experience supporting shipowners and operators with vessel inspections, steel surveys and repair planning.

By combining steel surveys with Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements (UTM), coating inspections, steel renewal calculations and repair supervision, we can support the process from initial condition assessment through to dry-dock repairs.

If the cause of corrosion is unclear, our Cathodic Protection & MGPS Division can carry out a Corrosion Inspection and advise on an appropriate solution.

MME Group is also certified by major classification societies to carry out UTM inspections. An overview of our UTM certificates is available in the downloads section.
