The past & present
Onsite surveying- Phone call, flight, survey, report….
Analogue- Paper and pen
Corporate ownership- Large global surveying companies
- IoT and technological development- Crowdsourcing and gig-economies- Digital marketplaces- Big data / BI & AI tools
Emerging trends

The future
From analogue to digital- 2D, 3D, 360….
From onsite to remote- Drone, self-survey, Live streaming…
From human to Artificial Intelligence- Machine learning, Algorithms
From corporate to gig-economy- Digital match-making

Final report
➢ Efficiency✓ Minimize impact to shipowner/ship
- No need for port permits, vessel agent involvement etc. - Crew can perform the survey off-line minimising disruption to the vessel
✓ No surveyor travel time ✓ First Notification within hours & preliminary report within 1 day✓ Damage report within 1-2 days✓ Informed decision on whether or not to send a marine surveyor
➢ Cost✓ 15-20% of incidents no need to deploy a marine surveyor(Attrition claims)✓ + saving on actual survey if needed
➢ Technical & risk improvement✓ Uniform reporting (templates)✓ Data gathering + analytics (weather, vessel details...)✓ Cargo damage/pre-risk✓ Introduction of machine-learning✓ Blockchain FNOL
