AIS annual testing
Annual, where SOLAS appliesPerformance-test planning, identity and installation checks, functional-test evidence and the onboard report.
Confirm the approved testing route and installed AIS model.
INSPECTIONS · TESTING · CERTIFICATION SUPPORT
Ready for the survey.
Clear through closeout.
Annual testing, periodic inspections and ongoing technical readiness. PELASTRION plans the work, addresses equipment issues and organizes the documentation your vessel needs.
VESSEL-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
The right inspection.
At the right time.
Flag, class, vessel type, tonnage, construction date, operating area and installed equipment determine the requirements. We start with your current certificates, survey status and due dates.
Technical delivery. A clear approval route.
PELASTRION’s corporate approvals are pending. We confirm the task-specific qualifications, service approvals and authorized surveyor or certificate issuer before regulated work. Statutory certificates and endorsements are issued by the flag Administration or an appropriately authorized organization.
