Typically, the ballast water treatment system BWTS goes into the engine room or pump room of a ship. The installation of a new and large system to a functioning ship involves a great deal of time and effort because of the complicated piping systems and machinery already present. The traditional method of creating detailed drawings requires manual measurements to replicate the actual site layout. Any remodeling to accommodate the new system will have to be done based on these

In order to determine how and where to install a Ballast Water Treatment System on the target vessel, as well as the required characteristics of the system, a feasibility study needs to be conducted. This phase involves the collection and review of vessel documentation. No single system offers a perfect fit for all vessel types, and this review helps establish the vessel’s specific needs. Laser scanners are also extremely useful during ship inspections as they can be used t

In principle, it will be helpful to know the exact purpose of the laser scan in advance, as the accuracy of a 3D laser scan can vary greatly depending on how it is performed. If the goal is simply to produce a 3D image, the accuracy of a few centimeters is likely to be sufficient. However, if the intention is to use scanning for pipeline engineering and fabrication at a later stage, the accuracy should be within a few millimeters. Conduct an on-board inspection to identify th
