IIMS Certifying Authority Spring 2018 training day


A group of 20 delegates, including some online, joined the training day, held this year at PETA near Portsmouth. The day proved to be full on, thought provoking and provided a forum for some intense and excellent debate.


The first presentation was given by Rob Aldous, Managing Director of Fireboy-Xintex. His topic was fire detection and suppression in sub 24 metre vessels. John Excell followed Rob and talked about the importance of accident reporting. The first afternoon presentation was entitled life raft specification and associated servicing and was expertly presented by Alistair Hackett from 3si Ocean Safety. Part of Alistair’s presentation included a practical demonstration, during which two life rafts were inflated in the room for inspection and discussion.


Mike Schwarz closed the day with some updates on recent documents issued by the MCA affecting coding surveyors and offered some practical advice and guidelines for Certifying Authority examiners.
