Flyby Guys inspects large vessels with drones. Instead of building staging, hiring lifts or sending rope access teams up masts and over the side, our pilots fly close to the ship and capture high-resolution photos and video of the areas your surveyor or superintendent needs to see.
The result is a faster, safer inspection with less time alongside, and a clear visual record of the vessel's condition that can be compared at the next inspection.
We plan each flight with the ship's crew and the port, so inspections fit around loading, maintenance and port rules.
What can a drone inspect on a ship?
Areas that are hard or slow to reach, such as hull sections above the waterline, superstructures, cranes, masts and funnels.
Does a drone inspection replace the surveyor?
No. The drone collects close-up images; your surveyor or superintendent reviews them and decides what needs attention.
Can you fly in a port?
Yes, with the right permissions. Ports are often in restricted airspace, so we arrange permission with the port authority and air navigation services before flying.
What do we receive?
Organised photos and video of each inspected area, so findings can be shared and compared over time.
