DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_28278" align="alignright" width="385"] Retired\, veteran marine surveyor and Past IIMS President\, Eur Ing Jeffre y Casciani-Wood will present this live lecture[/caption]\n\nIIMS is deligh ted to present one of its occasional live\, online seminars\, this one ent itled: Biological attack on iron and steel - a surveyor's potential nightm are?\n\nBefore booking your place please note that this lecture will be gi ven at 11.00 (UK time) on Wednesday 30 October 2019. If you are unable to join live\, you are able to request a copy of the video that will be prepa red and made available after the event - see below.\n\nMarine surveyors wi ll be familiar with common iron rust whatever form is takes and should not only be able to recognise the five different types of electro-chemical on sight and understand the conditions that cause the problem\, but also kno w how to deal with these conditions in order to minimise their deleterious effects on a vessel’s structure. The literature on the subject of elect rochemical or galvanic corrosion is enormous. Biological attack is\, howev er\, not so widely understood or recognised in the marine world where it g enerally takes one of two main forms\, either macrobiology or microbiology .\n\nMacrobiological attack is the well known phenomenon of mussels\, barn acles\, slimes\, grasses and seaweeds attaching to the hull. These items d o not usually cause serious harm to the metal but they can and do slow the boat down and increase the fuel consumption. However\, there is a differe nt kind of corrosion which is also found on metal boat hulls\, particularl y those lying in water containing decaying vegetable matter. Few people it seems are familiar with the problem or that it is caused by microbiologic al attack. Or\, in other words\, metal worm\, tiny micro-organisms that ea t the steel or metal. MIC is a highly unpredictable process but the marine surveyor should realise that\, under the influence of micro-organisms\, t he corrosion processes can happen in a matter of months compared to the ye ars it would take for ordinary abiotic corrosion to reach serious proporti ons. The impact and cost implications can be enormous and an estimated 20% of all corrosion damage is caused by micro-organisms\, yet little seems t o be known about the subject.\n\nRetired\, veteran marine surveyor and Pas t IIMS President\, Eur Ing Jeffrey Casciani-Wood\, has studied this phenom enon for a number of years and will present this essential online lecture live from the IIMS offices.\n\nThe cost is £35 to include a copy of the v ideo that will be made of the lecture and sent after the event.

This concept now seems so mewhat outdated and inflexible. Furthermore\, asking an examiner whose spe cialism is coding motorboats to sit through a presentation on workboats an d cranes at a training day is not a great use of anyone’s time\, unless it has direct relevance of course!\n\nIt has always been a requirement as part of the Institute’s contract with the Maritime &\; Coastguard Age ncy (MCA) that our coding examiners are continually assessed\, which inclu des attending training. And at MCA audit the CA is asked to provide eviden ce that this has happened.\n\nThe new-look CA training strategy aims to be more targeted toward various specific aspects of the Codes. So instead of full days of training covering a variety of topics\, the IIMS CA is plann ing a series of succinct\, tailored presentations that last for a much sho rter time for a modest fee\, all broadcast via Zoom whilst the pandemic co ntinues. It is expected that coding examiners will have attended two train ing sessions in one full calendar year. A series of training dates for 202 1 will be published in the coming weeks\, but for now\, the first one in t his new format is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 10 November starting at 10.00 (London UK time).\n\n10.00 An explanation of the process of Plan Approval for an under 24 metre hull and deck structure by a Class Associat ion by Mike Barnett.\nAspects covered include:\n- Workshop and manufacture r’s procedures approval\n- Typical drawings and calculations reviewed\n- Likely number of visits to inspect mouldings or fabrications\n- Extent of scantling checking and inspection of quality records\n- Format of certifi cates including limitations (speed\, displacement and wave height)\n- Vess el / hull markings and/or plating\n- Validity (or invalidity of certificat e) if the structure is altered\n\n11.30 Roger Barry\, Marine Safety Engine ering Manager\, Inmarsat\, gives an overview of GMDSS (Global Maritime Dis tress and Safety System)\n\n12.15 Update on the Codes by Fraser Noble\, II MS Certifying Authority Chairman\n\n13.00 Close\n\nThe cost of this traini ng session is £45 - please reserve your place below.

Equally\, if an IIMS examiner attends training provided by another UK CA\, that sho uld be recorded with the Institute.

This is an additional service to its existi ng face-to-face UK tonnage training\, (currently curtailed due to the pand emic) which has been authorized by the MCA for some years.\n\nThis trainin g is available to IIMS members and non-members too. But to become formally authorized to process tonnages through IIMS\, (where the Institute has re gistry agreements in place - see list below)\, and Part I and Part II must be completed and you need to be a member. Those who wish to study Part I only\, UK tonnage measurement theory\, may do so to extend their surveying knowledge.\n\nIIMS is innovating using smart technology to deliver a new methodology of authorizing tonnage surveyors. For the first time\, tonnage theory training can now be offered remotely to surveyors anywhere in the world who are involved with vessels up to 24 metres.\n\nPart I – Tonnage measurement theory seminar\n\nUsing the Zoom platform\, IIMS will deliver the first live tonnage measurement theory seminar on Wednesday 22nd Septe mber from 10.00 to 13.00 (UK time). The training provides an explanation o f UK tonnage measurement theory\, including the background to tonnage and detailing the specific requirements and measurements necessary to successf ully complete a tonnage survey.\n\nPrior to the seminar\, delegates will b e sent the pdf IIMS Tonnage Training Manual. The seminar itself will be re corded. Following the presentation\, all delegates will be sent the PowerP oint slides and a copy of the video as a reference. A certificate of atten dance will be issued.\n\nThe cost for Part I only is £100 for members and £120 for non-members.\n\nPart II – The practical video evidence\n\nFor those who wish to become an IIMS approved tonnage surveyor and thus able to process tonnages through the Institute\, it is necessary to complete Pa rt II\, the practical evidence-based assessment leading to formal authoriz ation.\n\nThere are no time constraints on completing Part II and it can b e done at the surveyor’s convenience once Part I has been studied. Surve yors will be required to record short video clips (filmed by their own han d or by an attending associate) to demonstrate an understanding of the req uirements and principles of conducting a tonnage measurement as taught by the theory training in Part I. IIMS will want to see video evidence of mea surements being taken on a vessel in water\, out of water and one with a s tep-deck for scrutineering. IIMS had made some sample videos to give an id ea of what is expected. Over 30 short video examples can be viewed on a Yo uTube playlist. Video evidence along with a completed electronic tonnage f orm needs to be submitted for scrutineering before authorization is grante d.\n\nThose who become formally authorized as an IIMS MCA approved tonnage surveyor on completion of Part I and Part II will receive a formal certif icate of achievement.\n\nThe cost for Part I and Part II is £275 for memb ers and £295 for non-members.\n\nImportant note.\n\nThe MCA Tonnage Autho rity agreement authorizes IIMS to certificate United Kingdom ships in acco rdance with certain applicable requirements of the legislation. Part III o f the 1997 Regulations regulates the tonnage and certification of under 24 m vessels by way of a simplified tonnage measurement system.\n\nIIMS is cu rrently able to process tonnage surveys on behalf of surveyors through the following registries:\nBritish Virgin Islands\nCayman Islands\nGibraltar\ nGuernsey\nIsle of Man\nJersey\nUnited Kingdom\n\nIf you become authorized through IIMS training and wish to carry out tonnage surveys through regis tries other than those named above\, please note that the Institute does n ot have formal agreements in place at this time. Other registries may have similar but different tonnage requirements and you should satisfy yoursel f before becoming formally IIMS authorized. IIMS will provide confirmation of your certification to other registries on request to help you to gain their acceptance of your capabilities as a tonnage surveyor and authorizat ion\; but IIMS cannot give a guarantee of their acceptance.\n\nRegister yo ur place below. Or if you prefer not to book online\, please email Vicki L oizides or call her +44 23 9238 5223 and we will invoice you.

And the situation is not improving. A report is the surveyor’s intellectual property and he/she lives or di es by it. This maximum three-hour online course\, featuring a lot of new c ontent bringing the art of report writing bang up to date\, aims to provid e the essential information that a yacht and small craft surveyor needs to consider when gathering the information and then compiling his/her report . There are suggested clauses for use in the report to protect against pos sible litigation and advice in the event that something goes wrong. Additi onally\, there is advice on contracts and terms of business and how\, when and where these should be used. There is also\, for the first time\, a pr actical session and delegates will be required to do a little preparation before the seminar in readiness and encouraged to contribute their thought s. So\, if you want to tidy up and strengthen your report writing skills t his is a good place to start.\n\nScope of the Seminar\nPart I: Preparing f or survey\, gathering data and compiling your report\nPart II: Giving the client what they want and not what the surveyor thinks they want\nPart III : Valuation Reports\nPart IV: Complaints\, examples and practical exercise s\n\nWho should attend this seminar?\nThe report writing seminar is aimed specifically at yacht and small craft surveyors\, both those who are less experienced\, but also those who feel they would benefit from a refresher. \n\nThe cost of the seminar is £75.

Nick plans to go into the subject in detail\, highlight best practices that should be adhered to\, and take the audience through a set of actual examples of good and bad usage\, evaluating these just as a marine surveyor would need to do in the real world.\n\nIf the date and t ime are not convenient for you\, there is an option below to purchase the video of the seminar to watch on-demand at a later date.\n\nThe aim of thi s seminar is to upskill marine surveyors with knowledge about HMPE synthet ic rigging\, its characteristics\, and how to survey it.\n\nSpecifying or upgrading to HMPE synthetic rigging represents a cost-effective “upgrade ” for any cruiser\, cruiser/racer\, or racing sailing craft. Nick will e xplain why.\n\nBased on increasing acceptance and affordability of synthet ic rigging\, marine surveyors will increasingly be requested to survey cra ft with HMPE rigging.\n\nInspection of HMPE rigging is easier and outcomes are more conclusive than traditional stainless steel wire rope rigging in spections as typically all aspects of terminations are visible.\n\nThe use of HMPE rigging has also spawned new hardware and fittings to support thi s new technology.\n\nThe seminar will educate marine surveyors on the new fittings and hardware and usage of HMPE for lifelines\, running rigging\, and standing rigging.\n\nThe seminar will cover all aspects of HMPE usage\ , working life\, terminations\, and best practices.

This is an additional service to i ts existing face-to-face UK tonnage training\, (currently curtailed due to the pandemic) which has been authorised by the MCA for some years. As a r esult of this training programme a number of new tonnage measurement surve yors have qualified and are now recognised.\n\nThis training is available to IIMS members and non-members too. But to become formally authorised to process tonnages through IIMS where the Institute has registry agreements in place - see list below - both Part I and Part II must be completed and you need to be a member. Those who wish to study Part I only\, UK tonnage measurement theory\, may do so to extend their surveying knowledge.\n\nIIM S is building on its use of technology to deliver a new methodology of aut horising tonnage surveyors. As a consequence\, tonnage theory training can now be offered remotely to surveyors anywhere in the world who are involv ed with vessels up to 24 metres.\nPart I – Tonnage measurement theory se minar\nUsing the Zoom platform\, IIMS will deliver the next live tonnage m easurement theory seminar on Tuesday 29 March from 10.00 to 13.00 (UK time ). The training provides a thorough explanation of UK tonnage measurement theory\, including the background to tonnage and detailing the specific re quirements and measurements necessary to successfully complete a tonnage m easurement.\n\nPrior to the seminar\, delegates will be sent the comprehen sive pdf IIMS Tonnage Training Manual. The seminar itself will be recorded . Following the presentation\, all delegates will be sent the PowerPoint s lides and a copy of the video as a reference. A certificate of attendance will be issued.\n\nThe cost for Part I only is £120 for members and £130 for non-members.\nPart II – The practical video evidence\nFor those who wish to become an IIMS approved tonnage surveyor and thus able to process tonnages through the Institute\, it is necessary to complete Part II\, th e practical evidence-based assessment leading to formal authorisation.\n\n There are no time constraints on completing Part II and it can be done at the surveyor’s convenience once Part I has been undertaken. Surveyors wi ll be required to record short video clips (filmed by their own hand or by an attending associate) to demonstrate an understanding of the requiremen ts and principles of conducting a tonnage measurement as taught by the the ory training in Part I. IIMS will want to see video evidence of measuremen ts being taken on a vessel in water\, out of water and one with a step-dec k for scrutineering. IIMS had made some sample videos to give an idea of w hat is expected which can be view on a YouTube playlist. Video evidence al ong with a completed electronic tonnage form needs to be submitted for scr utineering before authorisation is granted.\n\nThose who become formally a uthorised as an IIMS MCA approved tonnage surveyor on completion of Part I and Part II will receive a formal certificate of achievement.\n\nThe cost for Part I and Part II is £275 for members and £295 for non-members.\n\ nImportant note.\n\nThe MCA Tonnage Authority agreement authorises IIMS to certificate United Kingdom ships in accordance with certain applicable re quirements of the legislation. Part III of the 1997 Regulations regulates the tonnage and certification of under 24 metre vessels by way of a simpli fied tonnage measurement system.\n\nIIMS is currently able to process tonn age surveys on behalf of surveyors through the following registries:\nBrit ish Virgin Islands\nCayman Islands\nGibraltar\nGuernsey\nIsle of Man\nJers ey\nUnited Kingdom\n\nIf you become authorised through IIMS training and w ish to carry out tonnage surveys through registries other than those named above\, please note that the Institute does not have formal agreements in place at this time. Other registries may have similar but different tonna ge requirements and you should satisfy yourself before becoming formally I IMS authorized. IIMS will provide confirmation of your certification to ot her registries on request to help you to gain their acceptance of your cap abilities as a tonnage surveyor\, but IIMS cannot give a guarantee of thei r acceptance.\n\nRegister your place below. Or if you prefer not to book o nline\, please email Vicki Loizides or call her on +44 23 9238 5223 and we will invoice you.

This is an additional service to its existing face-to-face UK tonnage training\, which has been authorized by the MCA for some years .\n\nIIMS is planning to run the next tonnage training as a remote event.\ n\nThe three-hour morning Part I session will take place online. Delegates who wish to be formally recognised will need to complete Part II in their own time remotely.\n\nThis training is available to IIMS members and non- members too. But to become formally authorised to process tonnages through IIMS\, (where the Institute has registry agreements in place - see list b elow)\, Part I and Part II must be completed and you need to be a member. Those who wish to study Part I only\, UK tonnage measurement theory\, may do so to extend their surveying knowledge.\n\nPart I – Tonnage measureme nt theory seminar\n\nIIMS will deliver its tonnage measurement theory semi nar on Wednesday 14th September from 09.30 to 12.30 (UK time) via Zoom. Th e training provides an explanation of UK tonnage measurement theory\, incl uding the background to tonnage and detailing the specific requirements an d measurements necessary to successfully complete a tonnage survey.\n\nPri or to the seminar\, all delegates will be sent the pdf IIMS Tonnage Traini ng Manual. The seminar itself will be recorded. Following the presentation \, all delegates will be sent the PowerPoint slide presentation and a copy of the video as a reference. A certificate of attendance will be issued.\ n\nThe cost for Part I only is £120.\n\nPart II – The practical video e vidence\n\nFor those who wish to become an IIMS approved tonnage surveyor and thus able to process tonnages through the Institute\, it is necessary to complete Part II\, the practical evidence-based assessment leading to f ormal authorisation.\n\nThere are no time constraints on completing Part I I and it can be done at the surveyor’s convenience once Part I has been studied. Surveyors will be required to record short video clips (filmed by their own hand or by an attending associate) to demonstrate an understand ing of the requirements and principles of conducting a tonnage measurement as taught by the theory training in Part I. IIMS will want to see video e vidence of measurements being taken on a vessel in water\, out of water an d one with a step-deck for scrutineering. Video evidence along with a comp leted electronic tonnage form needs to be submitted for scrutineering befo re authorisation is granted.\n\nThose who become formally authorised as an IIMS MCA approved tonnage surveyor on completion of Part I and Part II wi ll receive a formal certificate of achievement.\n\nThe cost for Part I and Part II is £275.\n\nImportant note.\n\nThe MCA Tonnage Authority agreeme nt authorises IIMS to certificate United Kingdom ships in accordance with certain applicable requirements of the legislation. Part III of the 1997 R egulations regulates the tonnage and certification of under 24m vessels by way of a simplified tonnage measurement system.\n\nIIMS is currently able to process tonnage surveys on behalf of surveyors through the following r egistries:\nBritish Virgin Islands\nCayman Islands\nGibraltar\nGuernsey\nI sle of Man\nJersey\nUnited Kingdom\n\nIf you become authorised through IIM S training and wish to carry out tonnage surveys through registries other than those named above\, please note that the Institute does not have form al agreements in place at this time. Other registries may have similar but different tonnage requirements and you should satisfy yourself before bec oming formally IIMS authorised. IIMS will provide confirmation of your cer tification to other registries on request to help you to gain their accept ance of your capabilities as a tonnage surveyor\; but IIMS cannot give a g uarantee of their acceptance.\n\nRegister your place below.

FRINA HonMIIMS\, a marine surveyor based in Scotl and\, who is not your average ninety-plus-year-old. For one thing\, he has been marine surveying for over 70 years - in itself a remarkable feat.\n\ nIIMS is delighted to be hosting the Ian Nicolson Lecture "Lessons learned from 78 years of marine surveying" live on Thursday 13th April between 10 .30 and 12.30 (UK time). The lecture is open to anyone who wishes to atten d.\n\nThe lecture will be broadcast from the IIMS HQ at Murrills House. Th ere is space for 15 people to attend the lecture in person\, but most are expected to join in an online capacity via Zoom.\n\nIan has a unique prese ntation style and format and will use his own beautifully hand-drawn diagr ams as the basis for his lecture. He is known to be a stickler for detail and will demonstrate the importance of that in his own inimitable fashion. This is one lecture not to be missed and no matter what your marine surve ying experience is\, you are bound to learn something from one of the doye ns of the industry!\nAbout Ian Nicolson\n[caption id="attachment_41180" al ign="alignright" width="355"] The redoubtable Ian Nicolson[/caption]\n\nIa n Nicolson was apprenticed to the traditional yacht designer\, Frederick P arker. He was one of the team involved in the first post-war rebuild of th e large Fife schooner ALTAIR. He did his journeymanship with John I Thorny croft Ltd\, the ship and yacht builder.\n\nIan was a doughty pioneer in th e field of ocean cruising. He emigrated by sail in 1952 to Vancouver where he worked under Canada’s finest designer of traditional wooden fast mot orboats and power cruisers\, Thorton Grenfell. His return passage to Brita in was made by hitchhiking across Canada and building himself a small wood en yacht cruiser near Halifax. He sailed her ‘home’ single-handedly ac ross the Atlantic in 1954.\n\nAfter working for Alan Buchanan on wooden ya cht designs\, Ian was the naval architect for ‘Yachts and Yachting’ ma gazine and then became a full partner in A Mylne &\; Co\, the design fi rm set up in 1896 by Alfred Mylne\, the First. When Alfred Mylne the Secon d died in 1979\, Ian Nicolson took over as senior partner.\n\nHe is a much -published author having written a string of books on design\, constructio n\, operation and handling of small marine craft. He was a recipient of th e Geoff Pack Memorial Medal for his contributions to yachting literature.\ n\nUse the secure online booking form to reserve and pay for your place.\n \nIf you prefer not to use the secure online booking system\, please email Vicki Loizides at education@iims.org.uk or call her on +44 23 9238 5223.\ n\n \; CATEGORIES:IIMS Events & Meetings,Marine Events & Conferences,What's On END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:487@iims.org.uk DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230418T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230422T170000 DTSTAMP:20230223T152906Z URL:https://www.iims.org.uk/events/london-luxury-afloat/ SUMMARY:London Luxury Afloat DESCRIPTION:Created by the highly experienced team responsible for the Sout hampton International Boat Show\, the show has been designed to appeal to prospective buyers\, featuring a wide range of well-appointed sailing\, mo tor and super yachts\, up to 25m\, from leading brands including Oyster an d Sunseeker.

This maximum three-hour online course\, featuring a lot of new co ntent bringing the art of report writing bang up to date\, aims to provide the essential information that a yacht and small craft surveyor needs to consider when gathering the information and then compiling his/her report. There are suggested clauses for use in the report to protect against poss ible litigation and advice in the event that something goes wrong. Additio nally\, there is advice on contracts and terms of business and how\, when and where these should be used. There is also\, a practical session and de legates will be required to do a little preparation before the seminar in readiness and encouraged to contribute their thoughts. So\, if you want to tidy up and strengthen your report writing skills this is a good place to start.\n\nScope of the Seminar\nPart I: Preparing for survey\, gathering data and compiling your report\nPart II: Giving the client what they want and not what the surveyor thinks they want\nPart III: Valuation Reports\nP art IV: Complaints\, examples and practical exercises\n\nWho should attend this seminar?\nThe report writing seminar is aimed specifically at yacht and small craft surveyors\, both those who are less experienced\, but also those who feel they would benefit from a refresher.\n\nThe cost of the se minar is £75.

This is an additional service to its existing face-to-face UK tonnage training\, which has been authorised by the MCA f or some years. As a result of this training programme a number of new tonn age measurement surveyors have qualified and are now recognised.\n\nThe Pa rt I theory training is available to IIMS members and non-members too. But to become formally authorised to process tonnages through IIMS where the Institute has registry agreements in place - see list below - both Part I and Part II must be completed and you need to be a member. Those who wish to study Part I only\, UK tonnage measurement theory\, may do so to extend their surveying knowledge.\n\nIIMS is building on its use of technology t o deliver its tried and tested methodology of authorising tonnage surveyor s. Therefore\, tonnage theory training Part I will be offered on 29 June 2 023 remotely to surveyors who are involved with vessels up to 24 metres.\n \nPart I – Tonnage measurement theory seminar\n\nUsing the Zoom platform for online delegates\, IIMS will deliver the next live tonnage measuremen t theory seminar on 29 June 2023 from 09.30 to 12.30 (UK time). The traini ng provides a thorough explanation of UK tonnage measurement theory\, incl uding the background to tonnage and detailing the specific requirements an d measurements necessary to successfully complete a tonnage measurement.\n \nPrior to the seminar\, delegates will be sent the comprehensive IIMS Ton nage Training Manual in pdf format. The seminar itself will be recorded. F ollowing the presentation\, all delegates will be sent the PowerPoint slid es and a copy of the video as a reference. A certificate of attendance wil l be issued.\n\nThe cost for Part I only remotely is £130.\n\nPart II – The practical video evidence\n\nFor those who wish to become an IIMS appr oved tonnage surveyor and thus able to process tonnages through the Instit ute\, it is necessary to complete Part II\, the practical evidence-based a ssessment leading to formal authorisation.\n\nThose who attend in person w ill be able to measure boats at the venue\, record the data and hand their forms directly to the tutor for assessment prior to approval being grante d.\n\nThose who are not present in person may take as long as they wish to complete Part II and it can be done at the surveyor’s convenience once Part I has been undertaken. Surveyors will be required to record short vid eo clips (filmed by their own hand or by an attending associate) to demons trate an understanding of the requirements and principles of conducting a tonnage measurement as taught by the theory training in Part I. IIMS will want to see video evidence of measurements being taken on a vessel in wate r\, out of water and one with a step-deck for scrutineering. IIMS had made some sample videos to give an idea of what is expected which can be viewe d on a YouTube playlist. Video evidence along with a completed electronic tonnage form needs to be submitted for scrutineering before authorisation is granted.\n\nThose who become formally authorised as an IIMS MCA approve d tonnage surveyor on completion of Part I and Part II will receive a form al certificate of achievement.\n\nThe cost for Part I and Part II using th e remote method is £275.\n\nImportant note.\n\nThe MCA Tonnage Authority agreement authorises IIMS to certificate United Kingdom ships in accordanc e with certain applicable requirements of the legislation. Part III of the 1997 Regulations regulates the tonnage and certification of under 24 metr e vessels by way of a simplified tonnage measurement system.\n\nIIMS is cu rrently able to process tonnage surveys on behalf of surveyors through the following registries:\nBritish Virgin Islands\nCayman Islands\nGibraltar\ nGuernsey\nIsle of Man\nJersey\nUnited Kingdom\n\nIf you become authorised through IIMS training and wish to carry out tonnage surveys through regis tries other than those named above\, please note that the Institute does n ot have formal agreements in place at this time. Other registries may have similar but different tonnage requirements and you should satisfy yoursel f before becoming formally IIMS authorized. IIMS will provide confirmation of your certification to other registries on request to help you to gain their acceptance of your capabilities as a tonnage surveyor\, but IIMS can not give a guarantee of their acceptance.\n\nRegister your place below.

This is an additional service to its existing face-to-face UK tonnage training\, which has been authorised by the MCA f or some years. As a result of this training programme a number of new tonn age measurement surveyors have qualified and are now recognised.\n\nThe Pa rt I theory training is available to IIMS members and non-members too. But to become formally authorised to process tonnages through IIMS where the Institute has registry agreements in place - see list below - both Part I and Part II must be completed and you need to be a member. Those who wish to study Part I only\, UK tonnage measurement theory\, may do so to extend their surveying knowledge.\n\nIIMS is building on its use of technology t o deliver its tried and tested methodology of authorising tonnage surveyor s. Therefore\, tonnage theory training Part I will be offered on 29 June 2 023 remotely to surveyors who are involved with vessels up to 24 metres.\n \nPart I – Tonnage measurement theory seminar\n\nUsing the Zoom platform for online delegates\, IIMS will deliver the next live tonnage measuremen t theory seminar on 27 February 2024 from 09.30 to 12.30 (UK time). The tr aining provides a thorough explanation of UK tonnage measurement theory\, including the background to tonnage and detailing the specific requirement s and measurements necessary to successfully complete a tonnage measuremen t.\n\nPrior to the seminar\, delegates will be sent the comprehensive IIMS Tonnage Training Manual in pdf format. The seminar itself will be recorde d. Following the presentation\, all delegates will be sent the PowerPoint slides and a copy of the video as a reference. A certificate of attendance will be issued.\n\nThe cost for Part I only remotely is £130.\n\nPart II – The practical video evidence\n\nFor those who wish to become an IIMS approved tonnage surveyor and thus able to process tonnages through the In stitute\, it is necessary to complete Part II\, the practical evidence-bas ed assessment leading to formal authorisation.\n\nThose who attend in pers on will be able to measure boats at the venue\, record the data and hand t heir forms directly to the tutor for assessment prior to approval being gr anted.\n\nThose who are not present in person may take as long as they wis h to complete Part II and it can be done at the surveyor’s convenience o nce Part I has been undertaken. Surveyors will be required to record short video clips (filmed by their own hand or by an attending associate) to de monstrate an understanding of the requirements and principles of conductin g a tonnage measurement as taught by the theory training in Part I. IIMS w ill want to see video evidence of measurements being taken on a vessel in water\, out of water and one with a step-deck for scrutineering. IIMS had made some sample videos to give an idea of what is expected which can be v iewed on a YouTube playlist. Video evidence along with a completed electro nic tonnage form needs to be submitted for scrutineering before authorisat ion is granted.\n\nThose who become formally authorised as an IIMS MCA app roved tonnage surveyor on completion of Part I and Part II will receive a formal certificate of achievement.\n\nThe cost for Part I and Part II usin g the remote method is £275.\n\nImportant note.\n\nThe MCA Tonnage Author ity agreement authorises IIMS to certificate United Kingdom ships in accor dance with certain applicable requirements of the legislation. Part III of the 1997 Regulations regulates the tonnage and certification of under 24 metre vessels by way of a simplified tonnage measurement system.\n\nIIMS i s currently able to process tonnage surveys on behalf of surveyors through the following registries:\nBritish Virgin Islands\nCayman Islands\nGibral tar\nGuernsey\nIsle of Man\nJersey\nUnited Kingdom\n\nIf you become author ised through IIMS training and wish to carry out tonnage surveys through r egistries other than those named above\, please note that the Institute do es not have formal agreements in place at this time. Other registries may have similar but different tonnage requirements and you should satisfy you rself before becoming formally IIMS authorized. IIMS will provide confirma tion of your certification to other registries on request to help you to g ain their acceptance of your capabilities as a tonnage surveyor\, but IIMS cannot give a guarantee of their acceptance.\n\nRegister your place below .

As a result of this programme a number of new tonnage measurers/ surveyors have qualified and are now recognised.\n\nThe Part I theory trai ning is available to IIMS members and non-members too. But to become forma lly authorised to process tonnages through IIMS where the Institute has re gistry agreements in place - see list below - both Part I and Part II must be completed and you need to be a member of the Institute. Those who wish to study Part I only\, UK tonnage measurement theory\, may do so to exten d their surveying knowledge.\n\nIIMS continues to make good use of technol ogy to deliver its tried and tested methodology of authorising tonnage sur veyors. The tonnage theory training Part I will be offered on 21 November 2024 remotely to surveyors who are involved with vessels up to 24 metres v ia the Zoom platform.\nPart I – Tonnage measurement theory seminar\nIIMS will deliver the next live tonnage measurement theory seminar on 21 Novem ber 2024 from 09.15 to 12.15 (UK time). The training provides a thorough e xplanation of UK tonnage measurement theory\, including the background to tonnage and detailing the specific requirements and measurements\, plus as sociated documentation necessary to successfully complete a tonnage measur ement/survey.\n\nPrior to the seminar\, registered delegates will be sent the comprehensive IIMS Tonnage Training Manual in pdf format. The seminar itself will be recorded. Following the presentation\, all delegates will b e sent the PowerPoint slides and a copy of the video as a reference. A cer tificate of attendance will be issued.\n\nThe cost for Part I only remotel y is £150 (no VAT).\nPart II – The practical self-produced video eviden ce\nFor those who wish to become an IIMS approved tonnage surveyor and thu s able to process tonnages through the Institute\, it is necessary to comp lete Part II\, the practical evidence-based assessment leading to formal a uthorisation.\n\nYou may take as long as they wish to complete Part II and it can be done at the surveyor’s convenience once Part I has been under taken. Surveyors will be required to record short video clips (filmed by t heir own hand or by an attending associate) to demonstrate an understandin g of the requirements and principles of conducting a tonnage measurement a s taught by the theory training in Part I. IIMS will want to see video evi dence of measurements being taken on a vessel in water\, out of water and one with a step-deck for scrutineering before approval is granted. IIMS ha d made some sample videos to give an idea of what is expected which can be viewed on a YouTube playlist as guidance. Video evidence along with a com pleted electronic tonnage form needs to be submitted for scrutineering bef ore authorisation is granted.\n\nThose who become formally authorised as a n IIMS MCA approved tonnage surveyor on completion of Part I and Part II w ill receive a formal certificate of achievement.\n\nThe cost for Part I an d Part II is £295 (no VAT).\n\nImportant note.\n\nThe MCA Tonnage Authori ty agreement authorises IIMS to certificate United Kingdom ships in accord ance with certain applicable requirements of the legislation. Part III of the 1997 Regulations regulates the tonnage and certification of under 24 m etre vessels by way of a simplified tonnage measurement system.\n\nIIMS is currently able to process tonnage surveys on behalf of surveyors through the following registries:\nBritish Virgin Islands\nCayman Islands\nGibralt ar\nGuernsey\nIsle of Man\nJersey\nUnited Kingdom\n\nIf you become authori sed through IIMS training and wish to carry out tonnage surveys through re gistries other than those named above\, please note that the Institute doe s not have formal agreements in place at this time. Other registries may h ave similar but different tonnage requirements and you should satisfy your self before becoming formally IIMS authorized. IIMS will provide confirmat ion of your certification to other registries on request to help you gain their acceptance of your capabilities as a tonnage surveyor\, but IIMS can not give a guarantee of their acceptance.\n\nPlease register and pay for y our place below using our secure servers.

The training is open to all regardless of their affiliations.\n\nBackground\nWorkboat Code Edition 3 (WB3) came into force on 13th December 2023 and applied immedia tely to vessels newly built or first coded after that date. It applies ret rospectively to workboats coded under the 1998 Workboat (Brown) Code or MG N280. Those existing vessels have either 3 years from 13th December 2023\, or until their first 5-Year renewal after that date\, whichever is the la ter\, to comply.\nWB3 has brought major changes from previous Codes\, incl uding requirements for vessel operators to have a documented Safety Manage ment System\, conduct specific Risk Assessments\, undertake regular Safety Drills and carry out extensive Crew Training. Certifying Authorities and surveyors should expect to audit Safety Management Systems\, check Risk As sessments\, witness Safety Drills or check Drill Records and see Evidence of Training.\nThe MCA has\, for the first time\, issued an SWB2 Record of Compliance and Declarations Form to be used by all Certifying Authorities\ ; and it is quite different to most Certifying Authorities' current forms. \nThe consultation on the proposed new Sport &\; Pleasure Code closed r ecently and this new code is expected to come into effect later this year. It is likely that the new code will impose similar requirements for Safet y Management Systems\, Drills\, Risk Assessments and Operator Training.\n\ nWho should attend?\n\n Coding examiners of workboats\n Coding examiners of sport and pleasure vessels\n Vessel owners/operators\n General marin e surveyors\n\nThe day's training will be split into two different parts.\ n\nPart 1 will look at and discuss the required changes for the vessel\, i ncluding structure\, stability\, gear and equipment. This session is aimed specifically at those directly involved with Workboat Code Edition 3.\n\n PART 2 will assess in detail the changes for the vessel operating\, survey or/coding examiner. It will cover Safety Management Systems\, Risk Assessm ents\, Safety Drills and Operator Training.

The se minar is open to IIMS members and non-members.\n\nYour hosts and presenter s for this seminar are Paul Homer\, IIMS Chairman of Standards and Mike Sc hwarz\, IIMS Chief Executive Officer.\n\nIIMS receives too many surveyor c omplaints each year\, generally caused by poor writing standards and skill s\, some of which are serious in nature. And the situation is not improvin g. A report is the surveyor’s intellectual property and he/she lives or dies by it. This maximum three-hour online course\, featuring a lot of up- to-date and fresh content brings the art of report writing bang up to date . The aim is to provide the essential information that a yacht and small c raft surveyor needs to consider when gathering the information and then co mpiling his/her report. There are suggested clauses for use in the report to protect against possible litigation and advice in the event that someth ing goes wrong. Additionally\, there is advice on contracts and terms of b usiness and how\, when and where these should be used. There is also\, a p ractical session and delegates will be required to do a little preparation before the seminar in readiness and will be encouraged to contribute thei r thoughts. So\, if you want to tidy up and strengthen your report writing skills this is a good place to start.\n\nScope of the Seminar\nPart I: Pr eparing for survey\, gathering data and compiling your report\nPart II: Gi ving the client what they want and not what the surveyor thinks they want\ nPart III: Valuation Reports\nPart IV: Complaints\, examples and practical exercises\n\nWho should attend this seminar?\nThe report writing seminar is aimed specifically at yacht and small craft surveyors\, both those who are less experienced\, but also those who feel they would benefit from a r efresher.\n\nThe cost of the seminar is £75. On receipt of your booking\, your joining instructions will be sent no later than one week before the event.

Those who wish to study Part I only\, UK tonnage measurement theory\, may do so to extend th eir surveying knowledge.\n\nIIMS makes good use of technology to deliver i ts tried and tested methodology of authorising tonnage surveyors. The tonn age theory training Part I will be presented online by Fraser Noble\, Chai r of the IIMS Certifying Authority\, on 23 September 2025 remotely to surv eyors who are involved with vessels up to 24 metres via the Zoom platform. \n\nPart I – Tonnage measurement theory seminar\nIIMS will deliver the n ext live tonnage measurement theory seminar on 23 September 2025 from 15.0 0 to 18.00 (UK time). The training provides a thorough explanation of UK t onnage measurement theory\, including the background to tonnage and detail ing the specific requirements and measurements\, plus associated documenta tion necessary to successfully complete a tonnage measurement/survey.\n\nP rior to the seminar\, registered delegates will be sent the comprehensive IIMS Tonnage Training Manual in pdf format. The seminar itself will be rec orded. Following the presentation\, all delegates will be sent the PowerPo int slides and a copy of the video as a reference. A certificate of attend ance will be issued.\n\nThe cost for Part I only remotely is £160 (no VAT ).\n\nPart II – The practical self-produced video evidence (or\, on this occasion\, you may join the face-to-face training at Itchenor\, UK\, on 2 4 September 2025).\n\nFor those who wish to become an IIMS approved tonnag e surveyor and thus be able to process tonnages through the Institute\, it is necessary to complete Part II\, the practical evidence-based assessmen t leading to formal authorisation.\n\nThe day after the theory training on 24 September\, IIMS is running a practical face-to-face tonnage training session to be held at Itchenor Sailing Club\, UK\, from 09.00 to 14.00 (a working lunch is provided). You will measure and calculate tonnage on thre e vessels under the guidance of experienced surveyors. Your paperwork will be scrutinized and approval granted on successful completion.\n\nIf you c an't make it in person\, Part II can be undertaken remotely\, and can be d one at the surveyor’s convenience once Part I has been undertaken. Surve yors will be required to record short video clips (filmed by their own han d or by an attending associate) to demonstrate an understanding of the req uirements and principles of conducting a tonnage measurement as taught by the theory training in Part I. IIMS will want to see video evidence of mea surements being taken on a vessel in water\, out of water and one with a s tep-deck for scrutineering before approval is granted. IIMS had made some sample videos to give an idea of what is expected which can be viewed on a YouTube playlist as guidance. Video evidence\, along with a completed ele ctronic tonnage form\, needs to be submitted for scrutineering before auth orisation is granted.\n\nThose who become formally authorised as an IIMS M CA approved tonnage surveyor on completion of Part I and Part II will rece ive a formal certificate of achievement.\n\nThe cost for Part I and Part I I is £325 (no VAT).\n\nImportant note.\n\nThe MCA Tonnage Authority agree ment authorises IIMS to certificate United Kingdom ships in accordance wit h certain applicable requirements of the legislation. Part III of the 1997 Regulations regulates the tonnage and certification of under 24 metre ves sels by way of a simplified tonnage measurement system.\n\nIIMS is current ly able to process tonnage surveys on behalf of surveyors through the foll owing registries:\nBritish Virgin Islands\nCayman Islands\nGibraltar\nGuer nsey\nIsle of Man\nJersey\nUnited Kingdom\n\nIf you become authorised thro ugh IIMS training and wish to carry out tonnage surveys through registries other than those named above\, please note that the Institute does not ha ve formal agreements in place at this time. Other registries may have simi lar but different tonnage requirements and you should satisfy yourself bef ore becoming formally IIMS authorized. IIMS will provide confirmation of y our certification to other registries on request to help you gain their ac ceptance of your capabilities as a tonnage surveyor\, but IIMS cannot give a guarantee of their acceptance.\n\nPlease register your preferred option below and pay for your place using our secure servers.

The seminar is open to IIMS members and non-members.\n\nYour hosts and presen ters for this seminar are Paul Homer\, IIMS Chairman of Standards and Mike Schwarz\, IIMS Chief Executive Officer.\n\nIIMS receives too many surveyo r complaints each year\, generally caused by poor writing standards and sk ills\, some of which are serious in nature. And the situation is not impro ving. A report is the surveyor’s intellectual property and he/she lives or dies by it. This maximum three-hour online course\, featuring a lot of up-to-date and fresh content brings the art of report writing bang up to d ate. The aim is to provide the essential information that a yacht and smal l craft surveyor needs to consider when gathering the information and then compiling his/her report. There are suggested clauses for use in the repo rt to protect against possible litigation and advice in the event that som ething goes wrong.

Additionally\, there is advice on contracts and terms of business and how\, when and where these should be used. There is also\, a practical session and delegates will be required to do a little prepara tion before the seminar in readiness and will be encouraged to contribute their thoughts. So\, if you want to tidy up and strengthen your report wri ting skills this is a good place to start.\n\nScope of the Seminar\nPart I : Preparing for survey\, gathering data and compiling your report\nPart II : Giving the client what they want and not what the surveyor thinks they w ant\nPart III: Valuation Reports\nPart IV: Complaints\, examples and pract ical exercises\n\nWho should attend this seminar?\nThe report writing semi nar is aimed specifically at yacht and small craft surveyors\, both those who are less experienced\, but also those who feel they would benefit from a refresher.\n\nThe cost of the seminar is £75.
