IIMS Marine Surveyor Search App continues to gain traction


The new free Marine Surveyor Search App for iOS and Android devices, which makes finding a commercial or yacht and small craft marine surveyor by area or specialisation fast and simple, continues to attract downloads.


The App can be downloaded in the usual way from either the Google Play Store or App Store. Just search for ‘Marine Surveyor Search’.


The content is drawn from the current IIMS practicing surveyor membership database, which has been loaded in its entirety into the App - some 800+ surveyors in over 100 countries worldwide.


Many members have yet to check their listing on the App for accuracy and to ensure it is displaying as you would like it to show with the correct details and so on.


Key features of the App include a simple search function by name, by skill set and by location, including the nearest port in the case of commercial ship surveyors. Additionally, the App will allow users to rate a surveyor, store favourites and see recently searches. Communication with a chosen surveyor is simple with contact being made by email or telephone at the press of a button – and that is happening, albeit it in small volumes at the moment.
