Preserving and restoring historical and retrofitted vessels is an art that requires precision, versatility, and a deep understanding of sea intricacies—and that’s where laser scanning technology can be deployed. At PMI, we draw on years of global expertise in scanning vessels of all sizes, while balancing time constraints and operating under stringent security protocols. Whether it’s a warship, merchant vessel, or vintage freighter, our team is prepared to tackle the unique challenge of retrofitting.

Frequently, accessing tight or hard-to-reach spaces is necessary, and standard documentation or historical drawings rarely outline the current state of the vessel. That’s where our 3D laser scanning steps in. With high-tech scanners that collect tens of millions of data points in a matter of minutes, we can produce extremely precise 3D models capturing all structural detail—however slight or complex. These scans, registered to 3 mm over 10 meters, provide an authoritative digital twin of the vessel, giving engineers, designers, and owners the data they need for accurate retrofitting, repair, or restoration. Whether you are reconditioning a vintage ship or updating an aging fleet, PMI scanning products allow you to do it confidently and with clear vision.
