Announcing awards and recognising exceptional contributions to the marine surveying profession are always pleasing. So, I have the pleasure of announcing three honours. In no order of preference, IIMS has recognised the contribution of three exceptional maritime professionals. They are Nigel Cox, who has been awarded a Fellowship, Joel Lloyd Pinheiro, who also becomes a Fellow, and Joe McWilliam, who has been given an Honorary Fellowship. You can read the citations for the aforementioned men in the News Bulletin, and they will be formally recognised at the IIMS Annual General Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, 2 June. There’s still time (just) to make arrangements for that event, and I hope you will consider joining us from 1400 to 1600 (UK time).
