From inland shipping to seagoing vessels and offshore
KTN Belgium carries out inspections in dry dock, at shipyards, in ports and on board operational vessels, depending on the scope and circumstances of the project.
Our inspection teams are deployable for a wide range of vessels and maritime structures:
Our services can be deployed during newbuilding, class surveys, maintenance, repairs, damage surveys, dry-docking periods and scheduled inspections.
Dry dock, shipyard, port or on board
We understand that inspections often need to be carried out within short operational time windows.
