Marine & Offshore Inspection Services
The marine and offshore industries operate in some of the most demanding environments in the world. Saltwater corrosion, heavy loading, fatigue, vibration and continuous operation place enormous demands on vessels, offshore structures and port infrastructure.
Whether constructing new assets, maintaining existing infrastructure, preparing equipment for transportation or extending the life of ageing structures, reliable inspection is essential to maintaining safety, compliance and operational performance.
At Libellum, we provide independent inspection, advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) and quality assurance services across the marine, offshore and port sectors. Our experienced inspectors help clients make informed engineering decisions, maintain compliance and protect the integrity of critical assets throughout their operational life.
From fabrication workshops to dry docks, quaysides, offshore platforms and renewable energy projects, our experienced personnel deliver practical, professional support wherever it is required.
Our inspectors support every stage of a marine asset's lifecycle.
From new construction and fabrication through to commissioning, in-service inspection, planned maintenance, repairs, shutdowns and life extension programmes, Libellum provides independent inspection services that help clients maintain safe, reliable and compliant assets.
We regularly support inspections on:
Every project is different, but our objective remains the same—to deliver accurate, independent inspections that enable clients to minimise downtime, manage risk and make confident engineering decisions.
Dry docking provides an invaluable opportunity to inspect, assess and verify assets that are inaccessible during normal operation.
Libellum supports planned maintenance periods with independent inspection services including:
Typical inspection areas include hull structures, ballast systems, deck equipment, cranes, lifting points, pressure systems, fabricated pipework, structural repairs and critical welded connections.
Operating offshore demands inspection services that are technically robust, responsive and delivered with safety at the forefront.
Libellum supports offshore operators across oil & gas, offshore wind, marine construction and renewable energy projects with inspection services designed to minimise operational disruption while maintaining confidence in asset integrity.
Our offshore capabilities include:
Whether supporting planned maintenance campaigns, fabrication projects or urgent operational requirements, our inspectors integrate seamlessly into project teams to deliver reliable, independent inspection services.
The safe transportation of large fabricated structures is critical to successful marine and offshore projects.
Libellum provides independent inspection of sea fastening arrangements to verify that fabricated securing systems have been manufactured and installed in accordance with approved drawings, project specifications and client requirements before transportation.
Our inspectors verify:
Sea fastening inspections are commonly undertaken before transporting offshore modules, subsea structures, fabricated steelwork, renewable energy components, pressure equipment and heavy engineering assemblies.
Independent verification provides confidence that assets are securely prepared for transportation, reducing risk before they leave the quayside.
Libellum works alongside organisations across the marine and offshore sectors, providing independent inspection and quality assurance services where safety, reliability and compliance are critical.
Our services support:
Whether engaged directly by the asset owner or supporting a principal contractor, our focus remains the same—providing dependable inspection services that add value throughout the project lifecycle.
Marine projects require more than technical competence. They demand a partner that understands operational pressures, responds quickly and delivers inspection services that clients can rely on.
Our clients choose Libellum because we provide:
Whether supporting a vessel in dry dock, inspecting offshore infrastructure, verifying sea fastening arrangements, carrying out advanced non-destructive testing or providing quality surveillance during fabrication, Libellum delivers dependable inspection services tailored to the demands of the marine industry.
From shipyards and fabrication facilities to offshore platforms, renewable energy developments and busy commercial ports, Libellum provides the inspection expertise needed to keep critical assets operating safely and efficiently.
Wherever your project is—alongside the quay, in dry dock or offshore—Libellum delivers independent inspection, advanced NDT and quality assurance services that provide confidence at every stage.
