Ensure Compliance. Maximize Efficiency. Minimize Downtime.

At W&O, our Ship Check Program is designed to deliver expert, onboard inspections that help you make informed decisions about your vessel’s piping systems, valves, and instrumentation. Whether you're planning a drydock, retrofit, or routine maintenance, our experienced technicians provide a comprehensive evaluation to support your operations.

What Is a Ship Check?

A Ship Check is a vessel inspection performed by W&O technical experts to assess and document the current condition and configuration of:

• Piping systems
• Valve installations and functionality
• Control and automation systems
• Instrumentation and measurement devices
• Material compatibility and classification compliance

Our team will board your vessel, walk each system, take precise measurements, gather part numbers, and identify any potential challenges that could impact your maintenance schedule or upgrade plans.

What You Get

After your Ship Check, W&O will deliver:

• A full report detailing current conditions
• CAD drawings or system schematics, if required
