An extensive metrological survey of the ship has been completed to assist in the development of an accurate hull model. Three dimensional [3D] laser scanning technology was used to capture a snapshot of the ship. The laser scanned 3D model will underpin several of the project technical activities and engineering investigations to be conducted by BMT DS(A). The result of the laser scanning is a polygonal surface model of Polly Woodside shown in the figure below
