How It All Began
At Remote Underwater Inspection Services (R.U.I.S.), our story started with a shared vision among three passionate professionals: Rutger, Fred, and Dennis. In 2021, we came together to answer a growing demand for specialized underwater drone inspections. Each of us brought years of experience from different backgrounds in the maritime and technology industries, but we all shared one goal: to provide innovative, reliable, and efficient inspection solutions for marine assets and underwater infrastructure.
Our journey began after receiving multiple service requests directly from clients who needed professional inspections of underwater assets. With the help of advanced Blueye Robotics and RVI.Tools equipment, we knew we could offer an efficient alternative to traditional methods like dry-docking or diver inspections.
Our Mission: Combining Expertise and Technology
At R.U.I.S., we use state-of-the-art ROV technology, specifically the Blueye X3 ROV, to provide high-quality inspections. Our equipment allows us to access hard-to-reach areas safely and efficiently, whether it’s for vessel hull inspections, structural assessments, or fouling surveys.
From day one, we’ve focused on delivering detailed and actionable insights to our clients—whether it’s monitoring the condition of a vessel’s hull, identifying maintenance needs, or documenting underwater damage to structures. This data-driven approach gives our clients the confidence they need to make informed decisions about their marine assets.
Real Projects, Real Results
Since our founding, we’ve been fortunate to work with some incredible clients and undertake a range of impactful projects. Here are just a few examples:
1. Hull Inspection for a Large Cargo Vessel
We were called in to inspect the hull of a large cargo vessel that had experienced increased fuel consumption. Our Blueye X3 ROV captured high-definition footage of fouling and rust along the hull, allowing us to recommend a tailored anti-fouling coating solution. This helped the client significantly reduce fuel costs and improve vessel efficiency.
2. Port Infrastructure Assessment
We were asked to inspect the submerged part of a quay wall in a busy European port. Using our underwater drone technology, we were able to identify cracks and signs of corrosion that were previously undetected. This allowed the port authority to plan timely repairs and avoid expensive structural failures.
3. Pre-Inspection for an Offshore Wind Turbine Project
Before an offshore wind turbine installation, we performed detailed underwater surveys of the seabed and surrounding infrastructure. Our findings helped ensure that the installation site was clear of obstructions, reducing risks during construction and minimizing downtime.
