The Ian Nicolson Lecture Live


One of the more interesting and engaging nonagenarians you are likely to meet is Ian Nicolson C.Eng. FRINA HonMIIMS, a marine surveyor based in Scotland, who is not your average ninety-plus-year-old. For one thing, he has been marine surveying for over 70 years – in itself a remarkable feat.


IIMS is delighted to be hosting the Ian Nicolson Lecture “Lessons learned from 78 years of marine surveying” live on Thursday 13th April between 10.30 and 12.30 (UK time). The lecture is open to anyone who wishes to attend at a modest cost of £35 per person.


Ian has a unique presentation style and format, coupled with knowledge that is second to none; and will use his own beautifully hand-drawn diagrams as the basis for his lecture. He is known to be a stickler for detail and will demonstrate the importance of that in his own inimitable fashion. This is one lecture not to be missed and no matter what your marine surveying experience is, you are bound to learn something from one of the doyens of the industry!
