eCMID Seminar Singapore
In April 2017, Marine Surveying Academy (an International Institute of Marine Surveying subsidiary that runs and manages the eCMID programme on behalf of IMCA) ran the inaugural Accredited Vessel Inspector Conference in Amsterdam. Such was the success of the day and given the high number of AVIs in the Far East, it has been decided to run a similar such event.
The provisional programme for the day is as follows:
09.30 Mike Schwarz, Chief Executive Officer, International Institute of Marine Surveying: ‘Background to the eCMID AVI accreditation scheme and update on its progress’
10.15 Chris Baldwin, Technical Advisor and IMCA eCMID Project Manager: ‘eCMID/MISW Now and the Future’
10.40 Coffee
11.00 Capt Ian Coates, Lead Tutor: ‘Accredited vessel inspector – the way ahead’
11.45 Joe McWilliam: ‘A basic introduction to the International Safety Management (ISM) Code and its relevance to eCMID’
13.00 Lunch
14.00 Speaker to be confirmed
14.45 Ken Livingstone, Course Tutor (topic to be confirmed)
15.30 Panel discussion
16.00 Close
Existing eCMID AVIs are encouraged to attend but you do not have to be an eCMID accredited vessel inspector to take part in this seminar and to find more about the scheme.
