SA Remote is Survey Association's digital survey platform, developed to capture structured survey data remotely and support faster, more efficient inspections. Combining digital data collection with professional surveyor oversight, the platform helps clients obtain reliable survey information without always requiring physical attendance.
Not every survey requires a surveyor on site. When speed is critical or locations are difficult to access, traditional survey attendance can increase costs and delay decision-making.
SA Remote enables structured inspections to be carried out remotely, allowing information to be collected, reviewed, and assessed without waiting for surveyor mobilisation.
SA Remote can be adapted to different survey types, inspection requirements, and operational environments, providing a consistent and scalable approach to collecting survey information.
Custom workflows, questionnaires, and reporting requirements can be configured to align with client processes and operational needs.
SA Remote creates a more direct interaction between surveyors, vessel operators, and owners during the inspection process. By simplifying information gathering and reducing barriers to survey attendance, it helps improve data collection and data quality.
Developed in collaboration with Tokio Marine HCC, SA Remote was created to challenge traditional surveying methods.
A remote inspection is requested and a tailored survey workflow is assigned based on the type of survey and information required.
The vessel crew, local representative, or designated contact collects photos, videos, documents, and observations directly through the platform using a structured questionnaire.
The submitted information is reviewed by an experienced marine surveyor, who assesses the findings, requests additional information if needed, and verifies the results.
The findings are compiled into a professional survey report, providing clients with the information needed to assess condition, damages, risks, and recommended actions.
