Hull Inspection- Damage and Repair

Identifying defects and damage to ship structures can often be difficult, and deciding if a repair is required is not always obvious. This course will equip you with reliable inspection techniques used by Lloyd’s Register surveyors worldwide. 

You will learn how to identify different types of damage and defects using practical examples and case
studies, and gain an understanding of their causes.

The course will benefit anyone who carries out inspections of hull structures including superintendents, shipyard personnel, masters, first officers, chief engineers, ship officers, and independent surveyors.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will:
   • understand the classification and statutory requirements for hull structural integrity
   • understand the requirements for maintenance of class
   • understand the basic structural concepts of a ship’s hull
   • appreciate the process of fatigue defects
   • know how to inspect structure for damage and defects using specific tried and tested techniques
   • be able to identify specific types of defects and damage and understand their causes
