On 13 May, a group of 20 IIMS members and non members, including IIMS MCA coding and non coding surveyors, gathered at Trafalgar Wharf, Portchester on a beautifully sunny day for one of the two annual training days that are provided by the Certifying Authority.

The theme of this Certifying Authority training day was stability, stability, stablity. The first class training, which was provided by IIMS CA Committee members, Fraser Noble (Chairman) and John Excell, included an inclining experiment followed by a heel test on a small fishing vessel and finally a heel test on a RIB.

The three exercises were filmed and the IIMS will soon be issuing these videos to members via its YouTube channel for all to see and learn from as a training aid.

Thanks go to all those who attended and helped to make the day both interesting and enjoyable.
