Offshore-certified UAV platforms delivering high-resolution imagery and real-time inspection data — without scaffolding, rope access or personnel risk.
Request a QuoteOsprey deploys offshore-certified drones to inspect structures that are difficult, dangerous or costly to reach by conventional means.
All pilots hold valid offshore safety certifications (BOSIET, HLO, HUET) and are qualified for operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
High-resolution cameras capture millimetre-level detail of corrosion, cracks, coating damage and structural deformation.
Structured digital reports with annotated imagery delivered within 24 hours of the inspection campaign.
Reduces inspection time by up to 80% compared to traditional rope access or scaffolding methods.
Drone campaigns complete in a fraction of the time required for scaffolding or rope access — minimising asset downtime.
Remote inspection eliminates work at height or in hazardous areas — drastically reducing workplace incident risk.
4K video and high-resolution stills capture surface anomalies that are invisible from conventional inspection positions.
Digital reports with annotated findings, GPS-tagged imagery and prioritised recommendations within 24 hours.
All pilots and operators certified for NCS operations with BOSIET, HLO and HUET qualifications.
Live video feed to onshore operators enables remote participation without sending personnel offshore.
Indicative figures based on typical engagements — actuals depend on scope, asset and access constraints.
Topside structures, flare towers, pressure vessels, pipe racks, cranes and living quarters on fixed and floating installations.
Refineries, process plants, storage tanks, chimneys, cooling towers and other tall or inaccessible industrial structures.
Underside inspection of bridges, viaducts and elevated structures without lane closures or scaffolding.
Vessel superstructure, quay walls, fenders, mooring dolphins and port infrastructure.
Turbine towers, nacelles and wind farm support infrastructure — complementing our dedicated blade inspection service.
Progress documentation, volumetric surveys and as-built verification during construction and installation campaigns.
Drone visual inspection is typically 80% faster than rope access at equivalent coverage, removes all personnel at height risk, and produces digital records (photos, video, georeferenced findings) that rope access doesn't. For most surface-condition assessments — corrosion, coating, structural deformation — drone matches or exceeds rope access quality.
Yes. SIMOPS is part of every offshore campaign. We coordinate with the OIM and platform crew, develop a job safety analysis, and operate within agreed flight windows. Many campaigns require zero production stop.
A structured inspection report including: GPS-referenced photographs, 4K video coverage, defect register with severity classification, annotated findings, and prioritised maintenance recommendations. Optional: 3D photogrammetry model of inspected zones.
Yes. All offshore-deployed pilots hold valid BOSIET (offshore survival), HUET (helicopter underwater escape), HLO/MOB and offshore medical certificates. Drone operations under EASA Specific Category and BVLOS approval.
