Hatch cover ultrasonic testing

Hatch cover tightness can be an important issue in relation to cargo protection, seaworthiness-related concerns and claims involving suspected water ingress

or cargo wetting.

We provide practical attendance in relation to hatch cover ultrasonic testing and the documentation of relevant findings.

What we assist with

Depending on the assignment, attendance may include:

hatch cover ultrasonic testing attendance
recording of testing circumstances and findings
hatch cover-related observations
documentation relevant to cargo wet damage allegations
practical reporting for the appointing party

Why hatch cover testing matters

Hatch cover testing may be relevant:

before loading
as part of condition verification
in relation to suspected leakage
in support of wet damage investigations
where documentary record of hatch cover condition is required

The value of such attendance lies in providing a clearer factual basis for operational or claims-related decision-making.

Structured reporting of findings

We aim to provide clear reporting in relation to the testing attended, the available results and relevant observations made at the time.
