The past & present

Onsite surveying- Phone call, flight, survey, report….

Analogue- Paper and pen

Corporate ownership- Large global surveying companies

- IoT and technological development- Crowdsourcing and gig-economies- Digital marketplaces- Big data / BI & AI tools

Emerging trends

The future

From analogue to digital- 2D, 3D, 360….

From onsite to remote- Drone, self-survey, Live streaming…

From human to Artificial Intelligence- Machine learning, Algorithms

From corporate to gig-economy- Digital match-making

Final report

➢ Efficiency✓ Minimize impact to shipowner/ship

- No need for port permits, vessel agent involvement etc. - Crew can perform the survey off-line minimising disruption to the vessel

✓ No surveyor travel time ✓ First Notification within hours & preliminary report within 1 day✓ Damage report within 1-2 days✓ Informed decision on whether or not to send a marine surveyor

➢ Cost✓ 15-20% of incidents no need to deploy a marine surveyor(Attrition claims)✓ + saving on actual survey if needed

➢ Technical & risk improvement✓ Uniform reporting (templates)✓ Data gathering + analytics (weather, vessel details...)✓ Cargo damage/pre-risk✓ Introduction of machine-learning✓ Blockchain FNOL
