HOUSTON– ABS has awarded AviSight Inc. certification to support survey-related inspections on all types of rigs using drones.

AviSight is now certified as an ABS Recognized External Specialist in Remote Inspection Techniques.

Recognized external specialists are service suppliers who provide specialized work at the request of equipment manufacturers, shipyards, vessel owners, or other clients. The servicing or inspection results provide supporting information regarding classification and/or statutory survey decisions.

“Our goal at AviSight is to lead generational paradigm shifts in the industry,” said CEO J.B. Bernstein. “The revolution in safety and data that our inspection services and data solutions will bring to maritime-based critical infrastructure represents a shift that will feel like going from the Flintstones to the Jetsons. We are excited to work closely with ABS and its partners to create a new era of safety and data actionability in rig inspections.”

The company underwent an examination process, including a final inspection of a 250 class platform rig leg inspection. This inspection was streamed live from Galveston to a conference in Houston through AviSight’s proprietary Live Look Fault Vision using its new C3UBE command center.

“The use of drones has drawn instant industry attention and support,” said Bernstein. “AviSight is already working with our industry partners to support operations in the North Atlantic, Singapore, Galveston, and the Gulf of Mexico.”
