About
Thomas Klenum is a leading authority in maritime safety and regulatory innovation, with a focused expertise in remote inspection techniques (RIT) for vessel maintenance. His most-cited work, "Towards an International Guideline for RIT End-Users," addresses the techno-regulatory challenges of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and magnetic crawlers for hull cleaning and inspection. This paper, which has garnered 4 citations since its 2023 publication, reflects Klenum’s pivotal role in bridging cutting-edge technology with classification society standards. His contributions are particularly notable for spearheading the development of international guidelines that enable safer, more efficient ship inspections, reducing human risk and operational downtime. Klenum’s research has directly influenced how classification societies adapt to automation, positioning him as a key figure in the transition toward digitalized maritime operations. His work not only advances regulatory frameworks but also demonstrates a profound impact on industry practices, making him an essential resource for students and researchers exploring the intersection of robotics, maritime law, and vessel integrity.
