Digital Classification (3D / Remote)
Transforming classification with digital intelligence.
Our Digital Classification Program represents the next generation of maritime assurance. By integrating 3D ship models, remote surveys, and secure digital certification, we deliver faster approvals, reduced downtime, and predictive lifecycle management. This approach is recognized by flag administrations, financiers, and charterers as a transparent and reliable evolution of traditional classification.
What We Cover
3D Model-Based Plan Approval
We replace paper-based submissions with immersive 3D digital twins, enabling a more precise, collaborative review process.
- Structural assessment of hull, decks, and machinery foundations in 3D CAD
- Clash detection & simulation across piping, electrical, and mechanical systems
- Virtual walkthroughs for design teams and class surveyors
- Concurrent reviews by shipyard, owner, and class in a single shared platform
Remote & Smart Surveys
We combine remote connectivity, drones, and IoT data to make surveys smarter, faster, and safer.
- Live-stream inspections from shipyard or vessel to class surveyor offices
- Drone-assisted surveys of difficult-to-access areas (mast tops, tank interiors, hull coatings)
- Certified in-water surveys via ROVs, avoiding costly dry-docks
- Real-time validation with encrypted digital signatures
Data-Driven Compliance & Predictive Analytics
Operational data is no longer a burden—it becomes a compliance tool.
- IoT sensors continuously track machinery vibration, hull stress, ballast tank conditions
- Predictive analytics anticipate failures before they occur
- Digital dashboards give owners instant visibility of compliance status
- Automated alerts trigger survey scheduling to avoid penalties or downtime
Cyber-Secured Certificates & Digital Records
All documents are digital, secure, and traceable across a vessel’s life.
- QR-secured Class Certificates – instant authenticity checks
- Blockchain-enabled verification – tamper-proof records accepted by banks & port authorities
- Digital Ship File – one-click access to vessel’s class & statutory history
- Lifecycle continuity – ownership transfers handled seamlessly
Deliverables
Our digital-first classification services provide:
- Approved 3D model set with annotations
- Remote survey reports with embedded media evidence
- Condition monitoring dashboards (PDF + web portal access)
- Final Class Certificate (QR-secured, blockchain-backed)
- Continuous digital vessel file (always updated for owners, managers, and flag)
Process Workflow
- 3D Model Submission – shipyard uploads CAD/twin to class portal
- Digital Review & Approval – engineers annotate and approve in shared platform
- Remote / Drone Surveys – inspections completed with digital evidence
- Data Integration – IoT compliance records stored in secure cloud
- Certificate Issuance – QR-secured Class Certificate + Digital File delivered
