Core offering

Marine Technical Limits delivers FPSO hull structural integrity management and on-station repair services to offshore oil and gas operators worldwide. Offerings span risk-based integrity management and life extension studies, fully project-managed on-station repair campaigns (hotwork, ballast and cargo tank repairs, hatch installation), inspection leadership using ROV, UAV/drone, and manned tank entry, naval architecture and marine engineering, equipment rental of Safe System of Work skids, and independent marine warranty surveying. The PYXIS digital integrity management platform underpins and is reserved exclusively for MTL clients, providing inspection planning, data capture, anomaly tracking, repair management and 3D visualisation as a digital twin of hull inspection data.

Product overview

Marine Technical Limits offers a platform-plus-services portfolio centered on PYXIS, its proprietary digital integrity management software. PYXIS provides end-to-end hull structural integrity management through interconnected modules: Anomaly Management for tracking inspection findings, Asset Management for risk-based SIM strategies, Inspection for digital work planning and tablet-based data capture, Repair for repair tracking and quality documentation, Training and Visualisation for VR-based anomaly viewing and inspection simulation, and the Lightship Weight Control System for operational weight management. The platform delivers a digital twin of hull inspection data with cloud-based storage, real-time reporting, and 2D/3D visualization. Complementing PYXIS, MTL provides specialized services including Integrity Management, On-Station Repair (with water-backed welding and hatch milling capabilities), Equipment Solutions (Safe System of Work equipment, ventilation, power distribution), Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Inspection Leadership (ROV, UAV/drone inspections), and Marine Warranty Surveying.

Direct peers

• DNV: Norwegian classification society and advisory firm providing class, remote inspection, thickness measurement, and integrity services. Closely comparable to MTL given overlap in class-approved remote inspection, structural integrity, and asset life extension work, and is the body that has approved MTL as a service supplier.
• Bureau Veritas: French classification society and one of the world's largest marine/energy certification and marine warranty surveying providers. Directly comparable to MTL because it offers class-approved hull integrity, inspection, and MWS services for FPSOs and offshore assets globally, competing head-to-head on major tenders.
• American Bureau of Shipping (ABS): US classification society providing class, integrity management, and offshore advisory services for FPSOs and floating structures. Overlaps with MTL in structural integrity management, class-approved repair procedures, and life extension studies for offshore production assets.
• Lloyd's Register: UK-based classification society offering hull integrity surveys, marine warranty surveying, and offshore advisory services. Direct competitor to MTL on FPSO and offshore class-approved inspection, integrity, and MWS work, particularly in the UK North Sea.
• RINA: Italian classification society offering class, certification, marine warranty surveying, and engineering services to the offshore and marine sectors. Competes with MTL in hull integrity, class-approved inspection techniques, and offshore project assurance.
