This patented technology (U.S. Patent No. 11,027,799) was developed to service the dry dock industry by eliminating uncertainty in drydocking.
Why 3D Scanning? Docking feasibility can be accurately determined with 3D modeling after a 3D scan. Unknown projections and hull openings pose a risk to drydocking; damaging the vessel or dry dock. Our 3D scanning solution can verify locations of all projections and hull openings and check for interferences in your blocking plan. Unknown hydrostatics create an uncertainty of ship stability. When drydocking a vessel, especially when using hauling blocks, it is crucial to understand the initial stability of the vessel and draft at instability to prevent the vessel from becoming unstable. Reduced uncertainty and risk for any vessel drydocking.
How it works DM Consulting will scan your dock or vessel in or out of water. We will process the information and develop the following information for your drydocking:
Drydocking Feasibility Report
Hydrostatic Curves
Docking Plan Development or Modifications
Projection/Hull Opening Interferences
Standard Drydocking Calculations (loading, stability, clearances and more)
Damaged Vessel Assessment
What we can do Our technology is scalable and customizable for your needs. Prices vary for vessel size and location.
This service is recommended for:
Any dry dock facility with uncertainty about a drydocking
Vessel owners who want to insure a safe drydocking
