Full Vessel 3D Laser Scanning – RoRo Ship

The client required a complete digital capture of a RoRo vessel for retrofit and documentation purposes. Existing drawings did not match the vessel’s current condition, and traditional surveying methods would have been slow, disruptive, and prone to error — especially across multiple decks, cargo areas, and machinery spaces.

• Performed a comprehensive 3D laser scanning campaign, covering exterior structure and all interior spaces.
• Captured vehicle decks, accommodation areas, machinery rooms, and technical spaces in detail.
• Registered millions of scans into a unified point cloud model representing the entire vessel.
• Delivered engineering-ready outputs, including:
  • High-resolution point cloud dataset.
  • Clean 3D models for CAD/BIM integration.
• Visualization files for designers and project teams.

• Complete Coverage: Entire vessel digitally documented, including interior layouts.
• High Accuracy: Millimeter precision for retrofit and design applications.
• Efficiency: Large-scale data collection completed within tight project schedules.
• Future Value: Digital model can be reused for maintenance planning, retrofits, and compliance.

The client received a true-to-life digital twin of the entire vessel, allowing engineers, designers, and shipyard teams to collaborate using reliable, detailed data. This reduced project risk, improved decision-making, and shortened engineering timelines.

Full vessel interior scanning with ScanPro provides the marine industry with a precise, reusable, and versatile digital asset that supports every stage of the vessel’s lifecycle — from refit to maintenance and beyond.
