See the actual asset — AI-powered vessel inspection
Vessel imagery is captured and processed through our vision engine. The system identifies the vessel, maps structural zones, and flags visible damage — generating the raw data layer that feeds everything downstream.
The problem
No asset visibility
Underwriters bind millions in exposure on vessels they have never seen. Decisions rely on secondhand reports and outdated PDFs.
Weeks-long inspection cycles
Traditional marine surveys require scheduling, travel, and manual documentation. The process takes weeks before data reaches the underwriting desk.
Inconsistent data capture
Every surveyor documents differently. There is no standard for what gets captured, how it is recorded, or what level of detail is sufficient.
How it works
Upload vessel imagery
Submit photos of the vessel from any source — smartphone, drone, or professional camera. The system accepts standard image formats.
Automatic zone mapping
The vision engine identifies the vessel type and maps structural zones — hull, deck, superstructure, waterline, and fittings.
Damage detection
AI analyzes each zone for visible damage: corrosion, osmotic blistering, impact marks, coating failure, and structural deformation.
Structured data output
Results are delivered as structured data — zone-by-zone findings with severity ratings, confidence scores, and supporting imagery.

Frequently asked questions
- What types of vessels can NUDOS inspect?
- NUDOS processes imagery for cargo ships, tankers, bulk carriers, container vessels, recreational yachts, and offshore structures. The vision engine adapts zone mapping based on vessel type.
- Do I need professional photography for the inspection?
- No. The system accepts standard photos from smartphones, drones, or professional cameras. Higher resolution imagery produces more detailed findings, but standard phone cameras are sufficient for a comprehensive inspection.
- How long does an AI vessel inspection take?
- From image upload to structured inspection report, the process takes minutes — not the weeks required for traditional on-site marine surveys. There is no scheduling, travel, or site visit required.
- Is the AI inspection accepted by classification societies?
- NUDOS inspection data is structured to align with classification society standards including Lloyd's Register, DNV, Bureau Veritas, and ABS. The output complements traditional surveys with consistent, timestamped data.
