Autonomous Vessel Survey

As autonomous and uncrewed surface vessels (ASVs/USVs) become increasingly integrated into commercial, scientific, and defense operations, the need for specialised marine survey services has never been greater. At Midwest Marine Surveyors, we offer tailored survey solutions for the inspection, compliance, and operational assurance of autonomous vessels.

Our services include:

• Pre-deployment Condition & Suitability Inspections

• Structural and Hull Integrity Assessments

• Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) and Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT)

• Battery and Propulsion System Inspections

• AMSA Compliance for Domestic Commercial Use

• On/Off-Hire Surveys for leased ASV platforms

• Operational Readiness and Safety System Verification

We understand the unique requirements of autonomous systems—remote propulsion, redundant safety architecture, command/control systems, and payload integration—and apply survey methods specifically adapted for these technologies.

With the rapid growth of unmanned operations in offshore energy, hydrographic survey, environmental monitoring, and port security, our team ensures your autonomous assets are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.

Pioneering vessels require experienced oversight.
