SightCall is pleased to announce today the signature of a strategic agreement with Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, the leading Classification Society headquartered in Paris. SightCall’s augmented reality (AR) visual support has been a key enabler in developing remote classification survey capabilities – a partnership developed well before COVID-19 changed everyone’s plans for 2020 and beyond.
Now, accelerated by COVID-19, this agreement enables Bureau Veritas to provide remote surveys in an even more secure, virtual service environment to the more than 11,300 ships under BV classification.
The complementary partnership combines Bureau Veritas expertise with SightCall’s remote support platform based on real-time communication, augmented reality and artificial intelligence insights. In the context of this collaboration, Bureau Veritas will work with SightCall helping the global roll-out of digital classification services to support the schedule and requirements of ship owners and managers. This is all while minimizing onsite survey costs and reducing risks to personnel as well as dramatically reducing the carbon footprint of classification survey activities.
SightCall licenses are deployed worldwide through Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore’s network of remote survey centers for a global 24/7 services.
