Aries International Trading & Technical Services Company Ltd is the Chinese branch of an international marine and offshore survey specialist active since 1998. The Shanghai office coordinates technical work across Chinese ports and the wider Asia-Pacific shipping market, drawing on a worldwide delivery network that has completed more than nineteen thousand surveys for shipowners, fleet managers, charterers, and offshore operators since the group was founded.
Core services delivered locally include hull ultrasonic thickness gauging on bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, general cargo vessels, and small craft, including intermediate, special, and class renewal surveys. Inspectors use digital thickness measurement equipment and produce reports through an online data management platform that streamlines submission to attending classification surveyors. The team also delivers underwater inspection and in-water survey work covering hulls, sea chests, rudders, propellers, and submerged fittings, together with hull cleaning oversight and condition reporting between dry-dock intervals.
The Shanghai team holds thickness measurement approval from DNV and is recognised by the major classification societies, including Lloyd's Register, the American Bureau of Shipping, Indian Register of Shipping, ClassNK, RINA, Korean Register of Shipping, Russian Maritime Register of Shipping, and Bureau Veritas. Offshore inspection teams hold the training, medical, and competence certification needed for work on mobile offshore drilling units, FPSO and FSO assets, and fixed installations. Quality management is supported by ISO 9001 certification, and reporting workflows are aligned with IACS requirements, which gives clients confidence that ARIES survey deliverables are accepted by the attending class society without re-work or duplication.
