Our drone services

Drones are indispensable tools in the data collection of complex infrastructures. We connect this data with software solutions as needed, providing you with tailored results.

We differentiate between UAS (unmanned aerial systems) and ROV (remotely operated vehicles).

UAS - Unmanned Aerial Systems

Drones have evolved into a common means of inspections at ports and industrial sites over the past decade.

A drone inspection is efficient, cost-effective, and powerful. Furthermore, drone inspections at the port are significantly safer than traditional industrial climbers, for example.

ROV - Remotely Operated Vehilces

Underwater drones or ROVs have become a powerful tool for underwater inspection in recent years.

With our ROVs, we conduct inspections below the waterline at port facilities and on ships. Whether it's quay wall inspection or diving beneath ship hulls, we provide fast and cost-effective underwater inspections using ROV.

Our micro-ROV systems are mobile and easy to control, allowing us to deliver optimal inspection results even in challenging infrastructures.

Underwater drones are often faster and cheaper than traditional divers. See for yourself...

We have successfully carried out a complete intermediate class with ROV for Lloyd's Register as the first company.

In September 2023, Stein Maritime Consulting successfully conducted the first-ever complete intermediate survey of a seagoing vessel exclusively using an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) instead of divers. This was the first "drone-class" certification issued by Lloyd's Register, marking a milestone for the maritime industry.

This achievement proved that ROV systems will play a central role in the future of ship inspection and classification, unlocking entirely new market opportunities. With this groundbreaking success, Stein Maritime Consulting set new standards in drone-assisted underwater inspections and is committed to further exploring this market segment.

To establish modern underwater drones (ROVs) in the shipping industry and meet the growing demand for ROV inspections, Vesselity Maritime Analytics was founded as an independent spin-off in 2023. Vesselity utilizes ROVs in combination with AI-based image analysis to conduct inspections and quantify marine fouling effects on vessels.
