Marine Inspection and Surveillance

Coastlines, harbor facilities, and marine installations require regular surveillance and inspection. Fonnes Båtservice delivers dependable marine inspection, monitoring, and ocean surveillance along the Western coast of Norway, tailored for private companies, public entities, and research institutions.

Our three high-speed and highly maneuverable vessels provide the perfect platforms for diverse monitoring operations. With experienced captains who know the local waters inside out, we transport inspectors, technicians, and heavy measurement equipment quickly to target locations, even in tricky shallow areas or tight fjords.

Core services we cover:

• Visual Inspection: Surveillance of aquaculture pens, marine structures, bridges, harbor walls, and submarine cables from the surface.
• Environmental & Water Sampling: Support for water sampling, deployment of measuring instruments, and marine research data collection.
• Harbor & Site Patrols: Patrolling and monitoring harbor channels, industrial facilities, or restricted marine zones.
• Standby & Pollution Guard: Assisting in oil spill response, removing marine debris, or protecting vulnerable coastal habitats.
• Field Documentation Travels: Transporting photographers, researchers, and engineers for detailed documentation of marine construction.

Whether you require a brief visual inspection run or a prolonged, systematic maritime patrol spanning several days, we supply custom configurations and fully certified crew with safety as our absolute top priority.
