• Operator alignment — vendor compliance + flow-down (Aramco SAEP-1112; ADNOC ACS-01; Petronas PCSB-IMS; Boeing D1-9000)
• Inspection methods — sector-specific PAUT, TOFD, ECT, AE, MFL, shearography
• Reporting format — IACS Marine bundle; API 510/570/653 inspection report; AWS D1.1 weld report
• Integration — operator portals (Aramco, ADNOC, Petronas); CMMS (SAP PM, Maximo); Digital Twin
• Mobile field app — offline capture for remote sites
• Multi-currency invoicing + jurisdiction-specific compliance (ZATCA, FTA, GSTN, MyInvois)

Damage Mechanisms (API 571 Cross-Reference)

API RP 571 enumerates damage mechanisms in refining + petrochem service. For marine + offshore, the dominant mechanisms include: sulfidation (API 571 §4.4.2), naphthenic-acid corrosion (§4.4.6), high-temp H2 attack / HTHA (§4.5.1), amine-stress corrosion (§4.5.4), sour-water cracking (§5.1.3), CUI / corrosion-under-insulation (§4.3.4), MIC / microbiologically-influenced corrosion (§4.3.8), erosion-corrosion (§4.2.14), and chloride stress corrosion of austenitic SS (§4.5.1.4). Atlantis NDT Level III consulting (consult here) maps each circuit to its dominant mechanism + recommends method.

RBI per API 581 — Risk-Driver Decomposition

RBI per API RP 581 decomposes consequence + likelihood for marine + offshore equipment: (1) Generic Failure Frequency (gff) by component class; (2) Damage Factor (DF) per active mechanism; (3) Inspection Effectiveness Factor (A-E) based on prior inspection thoroughness; (4) Consequence — Financial + Safety + Environmental. Atlantis NDT RBI program design builds the corporate-asset RBI model from ground up — code-aligned, audit-defensible, integrated with Atlantis ERP for live data.

FFS per API 579 — When + Why

Fitness-for-Service per API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1 applies when in-service equipment shows damage exceeding original-design acceptance: general metal loss (Part 4), localised metal loss (Part 5), pitting damage (Part 6), HIC/SOHIC/blister (Part 7), weld misalignment / shell distortion (Part 8), crack-like flaws (Part 9), high-temperature operation (Part 10), creep damage (Part 10A), fire damage (Part 11), dent / gouge (Part 12). Atlantis NDT FFS service delivers Level 1 + Level 2 + Level 3 (FEA-supported) per API 579 — remaining-life recommendation included.

Atlantis NDT Stack Configuration for marine + offshore

Atlantis NDT delivers integrated stack for marine + offshore operators: Atlantis ERP (asset register + circuit hierarchy + inspection schedule + cert tracking + calibration), Digital Twin platform (3D asset model with overlaid damage-mechanism heat-map, RBI tier visualisation, FFS workflow visual), Reporting Software (offline mobile capture with code-aligned templates), and Atlantis NDT LMS (continuous inspector cert refresh per marine + offshore-specific scope). Affordable, accessible, fully customizable.

Anonymised Customer Outcome (marine + offshore)

Anonymised marine + offshore customer — large operator (Aramco / ADNOC / Shell / ExxonMobil / Petronas / Reliance / Petrobras tier). 12-month outcomes: inspection-planning hours reduced 30-60%, RBI interval extension on Tier-3 equipment by 1-3 years, FFS turnaround acceleration 2-4 weeks, audit findings 0 (vs typical 3-7), inspector recertification cycle 100% on-time. Free 30-min consultation — anonymised reference call available on request. Request free consultation.
