IMCA Publishes AUV Audit Guidance Document in Bid to


Promote a Common Approach The International Marine Contractors Association’s (IMCA) newly published ‘AUV Audit Guidance Document’ (IMCA S 028) has been developed by members of the Offshore Survey Division Management Committee with a view to promoting a common approach to the auditing of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) and their associated support systems.


While this document does contain some parallels with IMCA R 006 ROV Audit Guidance it also highlights technical guidance on the appropriate use of AUVs, for example, relating to the safe management of Lithium batteries.


It is intended that IMCA S 028 will act as a framework for offshore contractors to form their own AUV audit document.


As Nick Hough, IMCA’s Technical Adviser – Offshore Survey explained: “The AUV Audit Guidance Document applies to all classes of AUV, whether they are hybrid vehicles operating


on a tether or launched from a harbour and managed from an onshore facility. These machines are operated by survey personnel to carry out surveys offshore. As autonomous technology gathers momentum within the industry as a viable method of undertaking offshore surveys, it is vital that members play their part and develop an AUV audit document of their own to ensure equipment is fit for purpose.”
