Handy guide review The first person to review this new handy guide by Capt Allen Brink said, “This is a labour of love and reflects Allen’s immense knowledge and experience. I can’t think of a more valuable piece of work, not only for the survey industry, but for the maritime industry as a whole. One of the hardest things for lawyers is to deal with reports which are not logically set out or written in English which judges and other lawyers can understand. So well done! This will add great value to the industry.”


What A Marine Surveyor Needs To Know About Corrosion, Electrolysis, Galvanism, Anodes & MIC by Jeffery Casciani- Wood and Elliott Berry.


Practising marine surveyor, Elliott Berry FIIMS, and veteran, retired surveyor, Jeffrey Casciani-Wood HonFIIMS, (a name that needs little introduction to IIMS members), have combined to produce this authoritative 120 page handy guide entitled ‘What a marine surveyor needs to know about corrosion, electrolysis, galvanism, anodes and MIC’. The guide presents some detailed equations to help to explain the science along with plenty of practical tips to help the marine surveyor to understand this essential, yet complex subject as they try to debunk some of the long held myths.


In Part 1 the authors consider the many and varied types of corrosion and their causes, including the often misunderstood microbial corrosion. The opening definition ‘Corrosion is the degradation of a material by its environment’ gives little clue to the depth of valuable information that follows. Part 2 introduces the surveyor to the various cathodic protection systems that exist, including


a lot of information about the correct use of anodes. Part 3 is an excellent glossary with descriptions of cathodic protection terms that any surveyor should be familiar with.


What A Marine Surveyor Needs To Know About Corrosion, Electrolysis, Galvanism, Anodes & MIC is available in paperback at £25 plus post and packaging or as a downloadable pdf for just £22. Click for details at https://bit.ly/3hVwjxf.
