Case Study: Cyberhawk saves $600,000 on COT inspections with Flyability’s Elios 3 UT

Cyberhawk saves $600,000 and inspects 14 cargo oil tanks in 7 days with Flyability

Cyberhawk, a drone inspection and asset management company, faced the challenging and expensive process of inspecting cargo oil tanks (COTs) on a ship, which traditionally required scaffolding or rope access for visual and ultrasonic thickness (UT) inspections. The vendor, Flyability, provided its Elios 3 drone equipped with a UT payload to address this challenge.

Using Flyability's Elios 3 drone, Cyberhawk was able to complete both visual and UT inspections without any scaffolding or confined space entry. The solution enabled the team to inspect 14 tanks in just 7 days, a process six times faster than traditional methods. This efficiency resulted in estimated savings of $600,000 for this specific ship, with Flyability's technology potentially enabling savings of up to $1 million per vessel.
