IIMS PUBLISHES TWO NEW HANDY GUIDES IN PAPERBACK AND DOWNLOADABLE PDF FORMATS
In recent weeks, the twenty third and twenty fourth handy guides in the IIMS series, ‘What a marine surveyor needs to know about’, have been published in paperback and downloadable pdf formats. The 23rd
Surveys’ and the 24th
handy guide is entitled ‘What a Marine Surveyor Needs to Know About On-Off Hire Condition and Bunker is ‘What s Marine Surveyor Needs to Know About Corrosion, Electrolysis, Galvanism, Anodes & MIC’.
What a Marine Surveyor Needs to Know About On-Off Hire Condition and Bunker Surveys is authored by experienced Capt Allen Brink. On-Off hire condition bunker surveys are a requirement for the commercial trade of vessels in that vessels are hired from their Owners by Charterers who trade the cargo internationally. The survey of the vessel is undertaken either before the vessel is delivered into a Charter, or re-delivered from a Charter. The reports should include a detailed description of the vessel itself, the structural condition of the cargo spaces and main deck areas surrounding the various cargo compartments and hatches, the ship’s hatch covers, the cargo gear and space. Additionally, you will inspect and report on paint coating and cleanliness, the quantity of bunkers remaining on board, verification of the validity with respect to the vessel’s certification, portable equipment and securing materials, container securing equipment and so on.
Author Capt Allen Brink brings his many years’ experience into play. At an impressive 244 pages, the publication contains examples of a number of templated reports which the surveyor can adapt for his/her use. There are photos to assist, diagrams and examples of the certification the surveyor
needs to inspect and report too. The handy guide also contains a detailed appendix with a selection of marine terms, to assist the marine surveyor when conducting inspections of ships for charter purposes.
The first person to review Allen’s new handy 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 On-Off Hire Condition and Bunker Surveys is available in paperback at £30 plus post and packaging or as a downloadable pdf for just £28. Click for details at

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, have combined to produce this authoritative 120 page handy guide.
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
