Safer, Time Conscious & Cost Effective Surveys and Inspections

After celebrating 30 years of intense involvement in US marine warranty surveying and maritime consulting, LOC Inc. introduces their new service line – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV or Drone) Surveys and Inspections.

This new service will provide highly experienced operators to conduct safe, cost-effective UAV surveys for the Shipping, Oil & Gas industries as well as other users requiring aerial views and inspections of their assets.  LOC utilizes only the latest state-of-the-art technology, providing high definition video and still imaging with live streaming capabilities. The two operator system ensures dependable results with individual pilot and camera controllers.  UAV’s offer superior results, reduce the costs to the client, produce results quickly and decrease the exposure to risk that inspectors and the clients can be subject to.

Stuart Duffield, Vice President for Marine Assurance of LOC’s Houston office, states:

“This new offering has been planned for a long time and we are now able to offer a fully risk assessed and planned service to enhance our inspections and surveys to all our clients, whether onshore, offshore, shipping lines or insurance interests.“

Matt Riggs, UAV Operator further states:

“I am looking forward to assisting our team of experienced surveyors and leading the UAV services with identifying new opportunities where our service will enhance our client’s assurance and decrease the risk exposure in carrying out the various inspections throughout the marine and shore-based environments we operate in.”
