IIMS pays


Sunseeker a visit at their Poole HQ


A group of IIMS members descended on the Sunseeker factory in Poole, UK for a facility visit on Monday 18 February. The group was treated to a two and a half hour tour with access all areas from the moulding shop at the start of the build process to the finishing areas. A major employer in the town, Sunseeker has around 2,500 people working at their various factories. A genuine surprise was just how many vessels are currently in build with the vast majority destined for export. IIMS is most grateful to the management of Sunseeker for facilitating the visit.


The group headed next door to the headquarters of the RNLI and after lunch were treated to several presentations. Two RNLI surveyors, James Turreff and Ben Williams spoke to those present about their busy schedules and routine surveying work as part of the planned maintenance schedules on the large fleet. Next to speak was Malcolm Stewart, A Plan Insurance. In his presentation, he gave a detailed overview, including a case study, of the role of the insurance broker and how and where the surveyor fits into the process. Giles Waterhouse was thorough and passionate as he spoke about non-destructive testing, with a particular emphasis on rigs and masts.
