IIMS welcomes new members from South Korea


IIMS is delighted to welcome five new members to the Institute as full Members from South Korea from February 2018. Peter Broad FIIMS, IIMS in country representative for South Korea, has been working together with the five surveyors for many years on new building projects in some of the biggest shipyards in the world and on some of the most technically advanced vessels to enter into global service.


Whilst Peter’s Korean colleagues are not all ‘Surveyors’ in the truest sense of the word, as he points out, “we have to remember that the work of a New Building Superintendent and In Service Superintendent is a form of surveying.”


“We all work to sets of Rules and Standards and have to make decisions based on our technical experience and educational background.


“We have to engage with our clients, from the Ship Owner and Technical Manager to the Shipyards and their sub-contractors.


While many of Peter’s colleagues have previous sailing experience as either Master Mariners or Chief Engineers they have applied for membership based on the IIMS ‘Experiences matrix’ category ‘N’ Superintendency. Peter believes that in the future IIMS can expand this category to embrace more marine professionals in this diverse part of the industry (ship building and ship repair).


Peter and his colleagues are all continuing to work on their CPD and are always expanding their knowledge of ship new building technology.
