OCIMF has now included a remote vessel inspection option as a temporary tool within both the Ship Inspection Report Programme and the Offshore Vessel Inspection Database. Supporting guidance issued by OCIMF on the use of remote inspections for both inspection programmes advises that the remote vessel inspection option should be used as an additional option to enhance data collection where physical inspections are not possible due to COVID-19. Albion Marine Solutions provides Drone Survey Services. There are many advantages of using drones:
• Reducing risk
• Savings
