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.
