About
At Offshore Marine Inspection, we are dedicated marine professionals specializing in comprehensive vessel inspection services throughout New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region. Operating from our facility at 500 Mandeville Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, we combine cutting-edge inspection technology with decades of marine industry expertise to deliver unparalleled service to yacht owners, commercial vessel operators, and maritime professionals.
Our core expertise encompasses mechanical and structural engineering services, providing thorough assessments that ensure vessel safety, compliance, and optimal performance. As certified yacht surveyors, we understand the critical importance of detailed inspections in protecting both your investment and the safety of everyone aboard. We pride ourselves on delivering comprehensive reports that meet insurance requirements, pre-purchase evaluations, and regulatory compliance standards.
We specialize in advanced marine thermal imaging surveys and inspections, utilizing state-of-the-art infrared thermography equipment to detect hidden problems that traditional visual inspections might miss. Our thermal imaging capabilities allow us to identify electrical system anomalies, engine overheating issues, hull moisture intrusion, and insulation defects before they become costly repairs or safety hazards. This non-invasive inspection method provides invaluable insights into your vessel's condition without requiring destructive testing.
Our ultrasonic non-destructive testing services, including audio gauge thickness measurements, enable us to accurately assess hull integrity, structural components, and metal thickness without compromising the vessel's structure. This advanced inspection technique is essential for detecting corrosion, metal fatigue, and structural weaknesses that could compromise vessel safety or seaworthiness. We utilize professional-grade ultrasonic equipment operated by trained technicians who understand marine construction materials and standards.
Coating and gloss inspections represent another vital aspect of our comprehensive service offerings. We evaluate protective coating systems, antifouling applications, and surface preparations to ensure optimal protection against marine environments. Our coating inspections help vessel owners maintain proper corrosion protection, extend equipment life, and comply with environmental regulations. We assess coating adhesion, thickness, coverage, and overall condition using industry-standard measurement tools and protocols.
Beyond our technical inspection services, we provide valuable marine consultation services to help clients make informed decisions about vessel maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. Our consulting expertise covers regulatory compliance, insurance requirements, warranty issues, and cost-effective maintenance strategies. We work closely with marine surveyors, insurance companies, maritime attorneys, and vessel owners to provide expert testimony and technical documentation when needed.
Our team brings extensive experience in both recreational and commercial marine sectors, understanding the unique challenges faced by different vessel types and operating environments. We stay current with evolving marine industry standards, inspection protocols, and regulatory requirements to ensure our clients receive accurate, reliable assessments that meet current maritime standards.
