Reliable offshore riding crew deployment helps minimize downtime and production losses, providing cost-effective maintenance solutions for the global offshore and marine industry.

What is a Riding Squad?

A Riding Squad is a team of skilled offshore technicians who board vessels or offshore units during voyage or while on station to carry out specific inspection or maintenance tasks without interrupting operations.

Riding squads are commonly deployed for:

• Hull thickness measurement (UTM)

• Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

• Steel repairs and fabrication

• Mechanical maintenance

• Blasting and painting

• Cargo hold cleaning

• Rope access works

• Cable pulling and routing

This approach minimizes dry docking time and significantly reduces operational downtime.
