Accidents on offshore oil production facilities and oil tankers in the last decade have drawn security, survey and certification of such equipment in the limelight. But most of these procedures require a high effort in terms of time and personnel. Robots will be a solution to carry out these procedures more efficiently. The use of underwater robots in this field will furthermore open up new possibilities to survey and certify ships or oil production facilities on sea without the need of a dry-dock (which is highly relevant for large offshore production facilities that need to last years on sea). This paper will present examples of robotic systems that offer a solution for the survey of ship's hulls and the control of the state of large anchor chains. The different concepts of locomotion 'will be shown like the climbing of the anchor lines and the crawling along the ship hull The application of such systems can lead to new possibilities of survey for certification assuring the security of these facilities and ships on sea. Furthermore those systems allow to replace the human diver in this hostile and sometimes dangerous environment.
