Maritime
At DAX we have 12 years experience in the Maritime and Offshore inspection and classification industry. We distinguish ourselves from our competitors, as we understand your needs and requirements related to safety, regulatory compliance and condition assessment of your assets.
Aerial Images
Are you looking for aerial images of vessels sailing and in port. We are certified to operate drone with all permits and approvals in South African ports. Our drones can capture unique angles and supply high resolution aerial images of vessels.
Surveys and Inspections
Together with maritime consultants we can conduct surveys and inspections. Our drones are able to fly inside the vessel hull as well as externally.
Aerial Videography
As an addition to images we can supply a professionally edited video of the vessel sailing, docking in port, loading, and leaving port. Contact us to view some of our previous work.
