CERTIFYING AUTHORITY DEVON TRAINING REPORT
A group of 17 IIMS members and others met at the offices of Offshore Turbine Services at Dartmouth Quay in Galmpton in rural south Devon on the UK south west coast. After an initial introduction, the group headed out to the two windfarm fast crew transfer vessels, both of which were on the hard. Their mission? To inspect and conduct a mock MCA workboat coding survey on Commodore P, a five year old vessel. The group spilt into two, one group led by CA Chairman, Fraser Noble, the other by Mike Proudlove. For many of those who were present, this was their first encounter with a workboat of this complexity and type and a great learning opportunity.
Delegates went about their work in a very diligent and efficient manner. Once the various deck hatches had been opened, there were soon no surveyors to be seen as they vanished below deck. Surveying work carried on during the day, with the bridge, engines, lifesaving equipment, hull and all other aspects of the vessel coming under close scrutiny and survey.
After a splendid evening meal at a restaurant overlooking one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK in Brixham Harbour, delegates reconvened the following morning at the nearby Paignton Club. Fraser opened the day talking about the theory behind the extent of the coding surveyor’s responsibility. After a general discussion, the group discussed the vessel defects and the list they had compiled the previous day. All in all this event was voted a hit by all who attended.
IIMS would like to express their personal thanks to Mike Proudlove MIIMS and Offshore Turbine Services for making the arrangements and for hosting the group at their facility. Additionally, Fraser Noble is to be applauded for imparting his depth of code surveying to all those present.
