IIMS members at the Grafham Water SCWG meeting

The IIMS UK Small Craft Working Group (SCWG) met for one of its regular meetings in early May at Grafham Water Sailing Club near Huntingdon.

The theme of the day was Metals in the Marine Environment. Although attendance was smaller than normal, those who did come to the meeting found the day both absorbing and highly informative too.

Three speakers spoke in detail and at length about their specialist subjects.

Carol Powell has been a consultant metallurgist to the Copper Development Association and Nickel Institute in the UK for over 20 years with particular specialisation in marine applications for copper-nickels, stainless steels and high nickel alloys. Furthermore, she has been a member of the Marine Corrosion Forum and Copper-Nickel Task Force since their inception and is currently deputy chair of the European Federation of Corrosion Marine Working Party.

IIMS Certifying Authority training day

Posted on May 15, 2014November 21, 2024 by News Hound

Twenty plus marine surveyors who are IIMS Certifying Authority examiners met for their twice yearly training day at Portchester Sailing Club in mid May.

With the many changes now in place as a result of the implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006) legislation, it was an opportunity to review the procedures and to learn more about the convention.

Mark Towl from the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) was the key presenter in the morning session. During his presentation he stressed that the MCA is still reviewing many aspects of MLC 2006 and further changes were inevitable. He also stressed that, in his view, the MCA have taken the most liberal view to how MLC 2006 is being interpreted.

Britain’s largest independent ship repairer, Burgess Marine, has successfully launched the 65m (212 feet) classic 1930’s superyacht Shemara from its ship lift facility at the top of Portsmouth Harbour. Shemara Refit LLP completed the refit in just over three years at the ex Vosper-Thornycroft yard in Portchester.

Burgess Marine provided specialist support and personnel to Shemara Refit LLP for structural and fabrication works, mechanical works and pipefitting. Mr Peter Morton, the owner of Shemara Refit LLP, said, “Burgess Marine has been an important partner in this project from the moment we took ownership of the vessel in Lowestoft in 2010.”

IIMS India very active

Posted on April 3, 2014November 21, 2024 by News Hound

The IIMS India Branch lead by its Chairman Mr AWJ (Tony) Fernandez designed and delivered seminars on Managing Risks for Shipowners (through H & M and P I covers).

Following on the success of the first two seminars, another one was conducted for Reliance Industries (a Petrochem Giant in India) at their Jamnagar Refinery premises on the 17 January 2014. This seminar was more of a informal Question and Answer session moderated by Mr Tony Fernandez. This seminar too received a very good response with a demand to have more of such sessions conducted for Reliance. Plans are now afoot with the training directors of Reliance to see how the Institute could be of assistance to them here too!

The branch now has plans to conduct a Seminar on “Recent Developments in P&I Insurance in India” and feelers are now being sent to the industry to see how this could be customized and/or delivered (via a public seminar or customised in-house sessions).
