Nerves of Steel – Structural health monitoring

Monitor wave loading and hull fatigue across your fleet to reduce maintenance costs and support strategic decision-making. Optimize inspections, extend your vessels' life, ensure safety and build stakeholder trust.

In the pursuit of a profitable business, shipowners and charterers are feeling the pressure to control rising maintenance and operational costs. At the same time, safety and reliability may never be compromised.

Bring these seemingly opposing poles together in a smart way – with Nerves of Steel!

This service from DNV offers a suite of digital twin solutions tailored to the diverse needs of the maritime and offshore industries – allowing you to:

• Extend the operational life of your assets with confidence
• Ensure your cargo travels reliable to any destination
• Demonstrate hull status to external stakeholders
• Select the best vessels for conversions or acquisitions
• Perform root cause analyses and ensure effective repairs
• Plan targeted and efficient inspections

While traditional designs rely on conservative load assumptions, our technology uses AIS tracking and hindcast weather data to assess structural integrity under real-world conditions.

• Integration of data science with advanced hydrodynamic and structural calculations
• Interactive dashboards with continually updated results
• Standardized reports for clients, stakeholders and regulatory bodies
