See Your Hull's True Condition —
Without Sending a Diver Down.
A safe, fast, diver-free hull inspection service. A 9 kg micro-ROV is flown from a quay, an anchorage, or the vessel itself, while AI image segmentation classifies biofouling and coating damage as it goes — at over 98% accuracy. When you need it, the survey is delivered to certified In-Water Survey (IWS) standard.
No Divers. No Dry-Dock. No Guesswork.
A conventional diver survey is slow to mobilise, weather-dependent, costly, and carries real risk to people in the water. Vesselity's micro-ROV service removes all of that. A compact 9 kg vehicle can be in the water in minutes — launched from a quay, an anchorage, or straight off the vessel — and capture a complete visual record of the hull.
As the ROV flies, advanced image-segmentation algorithms analyse the footage: detecting and classifying biofouling, picking out coating damage, and flagging anomalies on the hull surface. The stated detection accuracy is above 98% — consistent, repeatable, and not subject to a tired diver's judgement at the end of a long shift.
Crucially, the output is not just a video. The survey can be delivered to certified In-Water Survey (IWS) standard, meaning the same inspection that guides your cleaning decision can also satisfy a classification requirement.
- Safe — no personnel underwater, no diving risk to manage
- Fast — minimal mobilisation; deploy from port, anchorage, or the ship
- Cost-efficient — up to 50% less than a conventional diver survey
- Objective — AI segmentation classifies fouling and coating damage consistently
- Class-ready — deliverable to certified In-Water Survey standard

What a Survey Actually Gives You.
An inspection is only as useful as what it leaves behind. Every Vesselity survey is built to produce a clear, usable, and — where needed — certifiable record of the hull.
Full Visual Record
Complete underwater video coverage of the inspected hull areas, captured by the micro-ROV during the survey.
Fouling Classification
AI segmentation identifies and classifies marine fouling across the hull, so "how much, and what kind" is answered with data.
Coating-Damage Detection
Damage to the protective coating and other surface anomalies are flagged — early warning before corrosion takes hold.
Inspection Report
Findings are assembled into a structured report — ideal as a standalone record, or stored and analysed inside Hull-Sight.
IWS Certification
Where the purpose requires it, the survey is delivered to certified In-Water Survey standard for the classification society.
Feeds the Bigger Picture
Connect the survey to Hull-Sight and each inspection sharpens your fleet-wide fouling-risk model over time.
From Booking to Certified Report.
A micro-ROV survey is designed to slot into a vessel's existing schedule with minimal disruption — no special berth, no diving spread, no lost trading days.
Plan
We scope the survey around your port call or anchorage and confirm whether a certified IWS deliverable is required.
Deploy
The 9 kg micro-ROV is launched from quay, anchorage, or the vessel and flies the hull — no divers, fast mobilisation.
Analyse
AI image segmentation classifies fouling and detects coating damage from the captured footage at over 98% accuracy.
Deliver
You receive a structured report — and, where required, a certified In-Water Survey accepted by class.
A 9 kg Vehicle That Changed
What's Possible.
The service is flown on a professional 9 kg micro-ROV — the Blueye platform that SepcoTech also supplies and supports as official distributor. Light enough for one person to deploy in seconds, capable enough to carry a class in-water survey. It is this new micro-ROV class that makes diver-free, certifiable inspection practical.
Light & Portable
At around 9 kg, the ROV is carried and launched by one person — no crane, no dedicated dive vessel, no heavy mobilisation.
Inspection-Grade Imaging
High-quality underwater video gives the AI segmentation clean footage to work from — the foundation of reliable fouling and coating analysis.
Backed by SepcoTech
Because we distribute and support the same ROV platform, the hardware behind your inspection is fully serviceable through one local partner.
Buy the Blueye micro-ROV through SepcoTech, run the inspection service on it, and manage the results in Hull-Sight — analytics, service, and hardware that all fit together.

Already Accepted by Class.
The strongest evidence for diver-free inspection is that an independent classification society has signed one off. That has now happened — more than once.
A Class Survey Carried Out Entirely by ROV
In Puttgarden, Germany, Lloyd's Register awarded certification for an in-water survey conducted entirely by remotely operated vehicle — with no divers in the water — describing it as a landmark moment for classification and maritime digitalisation.

Scandlines' First Class Certificate Without Divers
Scandlines Germany received its first ROV class certificate achieved without conventional divers, using a 9 kg micro-ROV system — and reported savings compared with a conventional diver survey.
