Marine welding inspection focuses on welds exposed to saltwater, corrosion, vibration, and mechanical stress. These inspections are essential for ships, docks, offshore structures, barges, seawalls, and marine-grade aluminum fabrications.
Inspectors evaluate weld quality through VT and NDT, ensuring compliance with marine standards and verifying the weld’s ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Common NDT for marine use includes PT for aluminum, MT for carbon steel, and UT for critical load-bearing welds.
Marine welding inspection improves safety, prevents corrosion-related failures, ensures compliance with maritime regulations, and extends equipment life in coastal environments.
