FOR ADVISORS AND TECHNICAL INSPECTORS
FOR YACHT BUILDING AND REFITS
Yacht building and refit projects demand precise oversight, clear communication, and up-to-date progress tracking. Rather than replacing your expert advisors and technical inspectors, Trident Virtual empowers them with a remote reporting and inspection tool, delivered via Assisted Reality headsets and integrated digital workflows to standardise, streamline, and enhance every inspection without costly travel.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES?
- Client satisfaction
- Centralised management
- Proactive advisory
- Improved coordination
- Reduced liability
- Live Updates
- Customer Service
WHY USE ASSISTED SUPPORT?
There are several benefits for owner advisors and technical inspectors, namely:
- Empower Existing Experts: On-site teams stream inspection footage via AR headsets, allowing advisors to guide repairs, validate workmanship, and confirm compliance in real time preserving expert insight across multiple yard
- Standardised Reporting: Consistent checklists, templates, and automated logs ensure every inspection follows the same rigorous process.
- Live or Recorded Sessions: Enable on-site teams to stream or capture inspection footage for detailed review, analysis, and sign-off.
- Travel and Time Reduction: Routine milestone checks shift from physical site visits to remote sessions, freeing inspectors to focus on high-value tasks and accelerating decision-making for critical path activities.
- Real-Time Progress: Stakeholders can receive immediate updates on build or refit milestones, non-conformities, and corrective actions.
- Enhanced Accountability: Geo-tagged, time-stamped videos and annotated screenshots create an immutable audit trail, easing liability concerns and providing irrefutable evidence of inspection outcome
HOW DO WE ASSIST YOUR ADVISORS AND INSPECTORS?
Our solution equips on-site teams with rugged, assisted-reality headsets and portable software that can stream or record high-definition video for remote inspections, allowing for precise annotations and guided workflows without requiring physical presence. We can layer in structured digital checkpoints tailored for each build or refit phase, automating data capture, guiding onsite personnel through every step, and eliminating manual record-keeping. All live feeds, recorded sessions, annotated imagery, and corrective-action logs are automatically stored in a cloud dashboard accessible to advisors, yard managers, owners, and surveyors, ensuring everyone sees the same real-time information. At the close of each inspection point, the system instantly generates standardised, time-stamped PDF reports, complete with pass/fail criteria, non-conformity logs, and recommended actions and feeds inspection outcomes that can be automatically fed into your existing management platforms, reducing administrative overhead and keeping project schedules perfectly in sync.

SCENARIOS
Scenario 1, Refit Preparation
Detailed refit preparation: A 50 m private yacht intended to carry out an interior layout change in Europe, remote operations made it impossible for yard personnel or contractors to visit and fully assess the scope of work. To overcome these logistical hurdles, the owner’s advisor teamed up with the Trident Virtual Assistant to host a live, guided walkthrough. During the session, the crew led yard staff and contractors through every area earmarked for modification, discussing dimensions, finishes, and access constraints in real time. The entire
presentation was recorded, and an automated report, complete with annotated plans and a clear scope summary was instantly distributed to all parties. This approach eliminated expensive, time-consuming site visits and ensured fast, accurate alignment on project requirements, paving the way for a smoother, more efficient refit.
Scenario 2, Remote Construction Inspections
During the steelwork construction phase of a 40 m yacht, a technical inspector used the Trident Virtual Assistant’s aR headset and cloud platform to remotely inspect structural steel work. Yard personnel streamed HD video of the welding and construction structure while the inspector pulled up live CAD drawings to verify the structure was built correctly and to a high standard. The recorded session auto-generated an annotated inspection report, with pass/fail
checks and deviation logs that was instantly shared with the project manager and owners advisor. This digital workflow slashed travel time, accelerated approvals and report generations, keeping the steel work schedule on track.
Scenario 3, Pre Purchase Viewing and Condition Inspection
For a 40 m yacht sale, the broker provided deck layouts and maintenance history for a prospective owner and their team. With the Trident Virtual Assistant handling connectivity and session management, an on-site inspector wearing an aR headset led the buyer through the exterior, interior and technical spaces in real time, while off-site inspectors joined online and highlighted areas of interest with added commentary on the overall finish, condition and areas of interest. When the buyer asked for additional views and questions on equipment set up, the crew provided demonstrative set-ups and information, which were instantly
incorporated into the file . By the end of the inspection, everyone received a concise digital report, complete with visuals and unified insights, giving the buyer full confidence in the yacht’s layout and general condition without ever setting foot aboard.
Scenario 4, Remote Onboard Inspections
Yard engineers provided wiring schematics, spec sheets, and test reports of the distribution panel. The Trident Virtual Assistant managed connectivity while an on-site technician with an aR headset fitted with a thermal camera guided the off-site inspector through the panels. Thermal scans revealed hotspots and visual checks confirmed routing. Torque readings on busbars and breaker seating were recorded as the inspector flagged insulation and alignment issues. On request, extra images and logs were captured and synced into the inspection report. The session closed and a concise digital report was generated, complete
with annotated thermal images and test results, leaving the inspector fully confident in the panels’ safety and performance.
Scenario 5, Factory Acceptance Test
Yard engineers provided hydraulic schematics, data sheets, and FAT protocols of a Hydraulic Crane The virtual assistant maintained seamless connectivity as an on-site technician guided remote inspectors via the AR headset. The power pack underwent full- range pressure ramp tests, relief-valve verification, leak checks, and thermal-stability assessments. The crane hoist executed dynamic load tests along with limit-switch and sway evaluations. Flow, pressure, and temperature readings were logged, and photos confirmed hose integrity and mounting alignment. Eliminating inspector travel, saving days of logistics and travel costs. A digital FAT report, complete with annotated video captures and test summaries was delivered, confirming full compliance with design specifications
