Giant cargo tank remote inspection turns stress-free, safe and efficient with Unlimited Flight Time.
Equinor’s Johan Castberg FPSO is a large state-of-the-art offshore production, storage and offloading unit destined to operate under harsh arctic conditions in the Barents Sea for the next 30 years.
IKM Testing conducted inspection of the newly built vessel using the Scout 137 Drone System from ScoutDI. The scope was to document the coating condition and as-built structure welded to the underside of the cargo tank deck.
Parts of the job were done during cold winter days in a yard at Stord, Norway. Two inspectors covered vast area working on shifts, safely and comfortably seated on the tank floor.
Proper inspection of a huge commission project like Johan Castberg requires several revisits and many inspection hours. This inspection job relied on the Scout 137 Drone System’s unlimited flight time for safe execution and timely completion.
