Tonnage Training Report


The first IIMS tonnage training day organised by IIMS to run in the UK for some considerable time in mid May attracted an international delegation of nearly twenty members and non-members. The event, held at Itchenor Sailing Club, could not have been at a better or more suitable venue and the weather duly obliged with a hot, sunny day.

Surveying delivered tonnage measurement theory in the classroom during the morning. After lunch the group split into two groups. The first one set about measuring a rib, which was set on the hard. The other group headed down on to the pontoon to measure a 28 foot motor vessel in the water. Once complete, the groups swapped vessels and completed the exercise.


Delegates assembled in the classroom at the end of the day and the groups compared their tonnage measurements, which certainly had some discrepancies between them.


IIMS launches handy guides in ownloadable


eBook pdf format The series of handy guides, launched a couple of years ago in paperback format under the collection heading of ‘What a marine surveyor needs to know about’, stands at seventeen publications currently.


IIMS has now taken the bold move to release the entire series of handy guides additionally as eBooks in downloadable pdf format, available exclusively via the IIMS website. So now the publications are available in paperback and eBook formats.
