Day two dawned with a bright and early start. Delegates were faced with a diverse choice of technical workshops and the audience split 50/50 between the two rooms.


First to speak in the Tuke Common Room was Capt Zarir Irani, who had stepped up to fill this speaker slot at short notice. His topic this time? “Facts not Assumptions” – an independent surveyor’s report, the content of which proved to be self-explanatory and was well delivered.


Mike Proudlove gave a powerful and authoritative presentation on the subject of the challenges faced when surveying one of the latest generations of wind farm fast crew transfer vessels. These complex vessels demand careful inspection and Mike gave a detailed insight into how to approach it.

Last to speak in this room was Mike Lewus from the British Stainless Steel Association. His presentation entitled ‘Corrosion of stainless steel in marine applications: Factors that influence performance’ was delivered by someone who knew his subject and was devoured by delegates. It may be of interest to readers to know that they can see and hear Mike again. In January 2018, IIMS is engaging him to lead a full one day’s programme on this subject. Watch out for details soon.
