With over 10 years of experience in the technical and commercial ship management industry, this German client company was looking for an efficient inspection service for a 300-meter-long ship stationed at the Eastern Anchorage in Singapore. Concerned about the strength of currents at the anchorage point, the client could not consider diver solutions as divers would need to cease operations in currents greater than 1 knot.

Convinced of autonomous inspection dronei A.IKANBILIS’ current-fighting capabilities, the German client company sub-contracted BeeX to use A.IKANBILIS for the inspection.
With its station-keeping capabilities, A.IKANBILIS performed a visual and hull inspection with an operating window twice as large as divers, and live video footage of autonomous drone was viewed by clients and operators in real-time.

Post-deployment, geo-referenced visual snapshots of areas of concern and visual footage from the mission were immediately uploaded to Sambal Portal, BeeX’s data reporting software, for the client’s record-keeping.
The successful deployment of A.IKANBILIS not only addressed the challenges posed by the strong currents but also provided the German ship management company with a more efficient and reliable inspection solution. This collaboration highlights the transformative impact of innovative marine technology on traditional ship management practices.
