MARINE SURVEYING ACADEMY BUSINESS SURGING AHEAD
MSA is ending the year on a high. Several RMCI course for superyacht coatings inspectors have been run in Hamburg, Amsterdam and Viareggio. As a result, there are 100 qualified RMCI inspectors. Wrede and CCS, two of the largest independent coatings inspection companies, have put their personnel through the course. Increasingly superyacht and refit yards are insisting on only RMCI attending their yards as the standard gains traction in the industry.
Initial planning to create a new course for those who project manage the coatings process is now underway.
As the deadline imposed by IMCA looms large, which means that from 1 January 2018 only those who are eCMID accredited vessel inspectors will be recognised and will be able to access the online database, there has been a noticeable and sharp uplift in applications. Whilst not totally surprising, it is clear that many who need the accreditation to enable them to carry on doing eCMID inspections, have left it to the very last minute. It is also entirely possible that there will be another surge early in 2018 as inspectors who failed to gain their accreditation in time discover that they have been frozen out of the eCMID database. Exciting times. Expect to see the number of accredited AVIs hit the 400 mark some time early in the New Year.
MSA MAKES TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS
Following the departure of Sam Owen, MSA has appointed Pui Si Chung on a full time basis to the role of Accreditation Scheme Administrator. Sharon Holland also joins the company in the part time role of Events & Course Co-ordinator. Both start their new jobs with MSA this week and we wish them well.
