RIMS has joined forces with Dutch Drone Company (DDC). Together the companies will offer an enhanced package of drone services to ship owners for both indoor and outdoor drone flights in the Netherlands.
The use of drones for inspections enables remote live on-screen object inspection, which can result in the elimination of the use of costly and risky access equipment such as scaffolding and cherry pickers, and, in the case of external inspections, resource intensive rope access teams. In addition, the time to carry out a survey as well as cost are reduced and risk is minimised.
Asset Inspections
The collaboration extends the services of RIMS to allow for inspections across the marine and offshore industry as they are now able to service inspections for assets including ship hulls, mobile offshore structures and cranes.
Controlled Traffic Regions
David Knukkel, CEO of RIMS: 'Cooperation with DDC offers us a new service which we can extend to our customers. Collectively we not only have the best equipment and skills to execute a top-class inspection, but we have all safety systems and permits in place to ensure full compliance with all regulations (legal and customer specific).'
Feye de Zwart, CEO of DDC: 'We are a fully certified drone operator and currently the only company allowed to carry out inspection flights in the Controlled Traffic Regions (CTR) around airports. A large area of the Rotterdam harbour is located in this CTR.'
