Applus+ in Mozambique Receives Lloyd's Register Approval for In-Water Survey of Ships and Mobile Offshore Units

In-Water Survey: A Cost-Effective Inspection Solution

In-water surveys offer a practical solution for inspecting ships and mobile offshore units without the need for dry-docking. These inspections, conducted while the vessel or offshore unit remains operational, minimize downtime, allowing companies to maintain their schedules. Applus+ Mozambique’s certified Diving and ROV team, equipped with advanced technology, perform detailed inspections of critical underwater structures, including hulls, propellers, and other submerged components.

This method enables early detection of potential issues that may affect the safety and performance of a vessel or offshore unit. By opting for in-water surveys, operators can ensure compliance with international maritime regulations while reducing costs associated with taking a vessel out of service. Lloyd’s Register’s approval confirms that Applus+ meets all necessary requirements to conduct these surveys, ensuring they align with international standards and industry regulations.

Strategic Importance for Mozambique’s Maritime and Offshore Sectors

Mozambique's maritime and offshore industries, particularly in oil and gas, are expanding. As the country continues to develop its natural resources, demand for efficient, high-quality inspection services is growing. Applus+ Mozambique, with its Lloyd’s Register-approved in-water survey services, is well-positioned to meet this demand, offering a certified and cost-effective alternative to traditional inspection methods.

The ability to perform in-water surveys is especially valuable in the offshore oil and gas industry, where minimizing operational disruption is critical. These surveys help ensure the integrity of offshore platforms, floating units, and other maritime assets, supporting safe and uninterrupted operations.

Applus+ Mozambique’s Operations Manager, Mr. Rionildo Macamo, commented, "Securing Lloyd’s Register approval allows us to offer a certified solution for in-water surveys, providing a cost-effective and efficient service that ensures both compliance and operational continuity. This is a key step in our mission to support the maritime and offshore industries with high-quality inspection services."

This approval strengthens Applus+ Mozambique’s service portfolio and supports the country’s growing energy and maritime industries, where reliable inspection services are essential for long-term operational success.
