LASER SCANNING AND POINT CLOUD REGISTRATION OF THE OIL TANKER<br />
This unusual project was a decommissioned oil tanker situated on the island of Borne, Malaysia. Ultimately the tanker was going to be<br />
rebuilt as a heavy lifting vessel, technically a tugboat for other ships or even oil platforms. The plans for the refit centred around the<br />
modernisation of the ballast pumping system in order to maximise efficiency. The scope of laser scanning covered the pump room,<br />
engine room and deck. Approximately 400 individual scan positions were recorded. The completion of the control was particularly<br />
challenging due to the fact that the ship was still afloat creating movement. At 3Deling we created our own bespoke process for<br />
undertaking a control measurement in just these circumstances. The final product was a registered partially coloured point cloud. The<br />
delivered data was not only used as an aid in design works for the modernisation but also to calculate the quantity of scrap metal to<br />
be removed.
