The IMarE — a 'fountain of knowledge'

Historically, an Institute was seen as a fuddy-duddy old boy's club, strictly reserved for the elite and perpetuating an image of Georgian frumpiness.
The IMarE may now reside behind a Georgian façade, but its attitude is far from frumpish. Young Maritime Engineers (YMEs) find it a forward thinking, vibrant body meeting their professional needs, as Patrik Wheater found when talking to some of them.
To the many UK YMEs who, having successfully completed degree courses or apprenticeships, are putting marine engineering theory into practice in their first posts as marine engineers proper, the Institute of Marine Engineers is the internationally recognised learned society, which, as Clive Briscoe, Senior Surveyor with classification society DNV, so succinctly puts: `Provides a fountain of knowledge probably unsurpassed in the marine engineering field.' Clive is YME co-ordinator for the NW England Branch.
The Institute and its Fellows, Members and Associates provide the YME with opportunities that not only further careers but, through its technical meetings and journals, provides opportunity to keep abreast of the technological advances in this ever-changing industry of ours.
Scottish Branch Regional YME co-ordinator Scott Grove, 30, a young marine engineer at BAE Systems (YSL) Ltd, says: `The Institute allows the YME to join a network of like minded people, offering the kind of peer support that many of us at University or College need and in some cases depend on to advance our careers.
`The Institute provided me with the means to register with the Engineering Council as an Incorporated Engineer, and this led to my promotion to Senior Design Engineer,' says Scott.
To attain the professional status demanded by many employees seems to be the main reason why many YMEs pay their dues to the Institute: `Membership is a demonstration of competence and commitment to the profession,' says Stolt Comex Seaway's Shona Heath, 26. And although she recognises that members' requirements change with passage of time, `a graduate or younger member is primarily looking to get chartered, and how to progress his or her professional development; they seek guidance and a mentor. Later perhaps, the emphasis changes and other services, like branch technical meetings, become more relevant.'
Clive Briscoe asserts that attending technical meetings is `a very important aspect to the job. You get to keep up with new technology or hear a “blast from the past” and you can make some very useful contacts along the way.' Clive is surprised that some meetings are weakly supported: `If you're committed to the job and to the profession, then time needs to be made for the Institute. After all, it's ours to use and, if we want to, we can even run for and get elected to Council.'
Many YMEs feel that the Institute's services have improved since the move to the new HQ and that recent Presidents have appeared very keen on changing things for the better by encouraging young engineers to take an active part in the functions of the Institute, through the YME Initiative for example.
Shona applauds the `IMarE's commitment to training and ensuring that a high standard of engineering is achieved,' and rightly reasons that graduates and young engineers are fundamental in promoting and perpetuating the marine engineering industry.
As the Aberdeen Branch YME Regional Co-ordinator, Shona gets a sack full of letters from the area's YMEs saying that they don't get enough support or training from their employers. Clive agrees. He says: `These days companies certainly want the last ounce of flesh but do little to further the development of their qualified staff.' This is why so many young engineers look to the Institute for the opportunities they need for professional development.
But one thing it needs to consider is Clive, Scott's and Shona's remarks that it could do more by arranging training courses and holding them in areas more local to the Branches, and perhaps even decentralise other events `as accommodation and travel to and from London can prove expensive.'

Sydney

As the Sydney Olympics draws near members who attended the second combined technical meeting in March heard John Jeremy of Navacon Pty Ltd discuss the contribution to be made by thousands of volunteers in running the sailing events.
John is a member of the Royal Sydney Yacht squadron's team of volunteers involved in the race management team for one of the course areas. In his paper `Preparing for Olympic Sailing – A Volunteer's Perspective,' he described his experiences in previous events held in Sydney Harbour, including the demands, challenges and skills needed by the volunteers to ensure that all goes smoothly.
Also at this technical meeting Alan Hopper, Douglas J Taylor and William T Warren were presented with their 45-year membership certificates by Chairman Len Michaels. Due to camera problems only Doug Taylor is pictured receiving his certificate.

In a break with the norm, this year the Victoria/Tasmania and Sydney Branches have combined to award the WW Marriner Award to Quentin Alsford who was rated by the Australian Maritime College for the best achievement by a cadet in the Advanced Diploma Course of Marine Engineering. Quentin received his prize of technical books, from Vic/Tas Hon Secretary Howard Mumford at the AMC Graduation and Prize Giving Ceremony and Dinner held in March.
The WW Marriner Scholarships for 2000 went to Aminur Rashid studying ocean engineering at AMC, and Aaron Francesco Miragliotta studying a BEng in mechanical engineering at Curtin University.
Meanwhile in April, Ian Williams of Ian Williams & Associates gave the third technical meeting entitled `Improvements in the safety of passenger ferries.'
The paper explored the issues arising from the loss of the Estonia in September 1994, the most important SOLAS amendments adopted by the Diplomatic Conference in November 1995 and subsequent developments of the concept of providing for stability with water on deck.

Devon & Cornwall

Branch members who are also members of a local body known as the `South West Company of Branch members visit yard Mariners' enjoyed a technical visit to the old-established shipyard of Messrs Mashford Bros at Cremyll in Cornwall. Among the `Mariners', made up of serving and retired deck officers and marine engineers, pictured are Branch members Lt Cdr Gordon Bruty MBE, RN and Lt Cdr John T Leech.
At the time of the visit Mashford Bros was being taken over by Appledore Shipping Ltd (ASL). ASL is now in the process of beginning a major refurbishment of the premises, including overhaul and improvement of the slipways and haul-out facilities.
The take over will enable continuation of the yard's ability to tender for work involving small commercial vessels and similar sized MoD craft, as it has done for many years. The yard has expertise in building and repairing wooden vessels.

`The Maritime and Coastguard Agency - Present and Future' was the title of an informative and entertaining lecture given by Allan Cubbin, the MCA's Director of Maritime Pollution Prevention, to a large audience of Branch members in February.
Allan recapped on the establishment of the organisation in 1998 after the merger of the Maritime Safety Agency and the Coastguard Agency, and its role in vessel survey and inspection, co-ordination of search and rescue, and marine pollution control response.
Members heard its aims for the future included creating a higher profile with industry, developing, promoting and enforcing high standards of marine safety, minimising loss of life amongst seafarers and coastal users, responding to maritime emergencies and minimising the risk of pollution to the marine environment from ships and shore pollution.
In March a large audience gathered on the restored SS Great Britain in Bristol to hear Cdr L F Porter, MBE CD RN (Rtd) and Matthew Tanner, Curator of the SS Great Britain Project give the Branch's Prestige Lecture.
Mathew set the scene by discussing the work carried out by the project team and their plans for the future, while Cdr Porter then followed with his lecture entitled `Brunel and the Great Britain'.
Built by the Great Western Steamship Company the SS Great Britain was launched in July 1843. Cdr Porter discussed the history of the vessel and the technological advances made during her design, after which the party toured the historic ship.

Southern Joint

Over 50 members and guests attended a lecture in March to hear David Aris, FIMarE, a former Branch member and crew member of the last ocean-going Liberty ship Jeremiah O'Brien talk about their construction and history and his experiences onboard.
David described the concept, design and initial construction problems and the lack of shipyards to build or actually assemble this type of ship. The audience agreed that the part played by the British Merchant Shipbuilding Mission was never fully recognised in Britain. The talk was kept very lively and interesting with many snippets thrown in, such as those about `Rosie the Riveter', `Wendy the Welder' and the shooting of the engine room scene for the film `Titanic'.
The audience were interested to learn that of the 270 Liberties constructed only five actually were lost due to hull structural failure during the War, although many suffered cracking during their lifetime. Not bad when it was considered that they were only built for a single voyage and in fact 50 were lost on their maiden voyage.
A photo-slide presentation took the audience on a tour of the Jeremiah's boiler and engine room and of her voyage from the D-Day 50th anniversary celebrations back to her home port in the USA.
Question time at the end revealed that some of the audience had sailed in this type of ship and still remembered the smell of hot engine oil and steam with nostalgia.

West Midlands

22 Branch members and guests heard a fascinating lecture on the life and works of James Watt entitled `James Watt Extraordinary' by the historian Rev Dr Richard L Hills at a meeting in April.
James Watt was born in 1736 in Greenock, Scotland working from the age of 19 as a mathematical instrument maker, becoming interested in latent heat and the properties of steam, subsequently improving the steam engine invented by Thomas Newcomen and Thomas Savery.
Watt also designed musical and scientific instruments, designed and constructed bridges and aqueducts and patented a copying machine. He also invented the centrifugal governor and the steam indicator, discovered new gases and developed an apparatus for producing chlorine gas. He joined Matthew Boulton, the owner of the Soho engineering works in Birmingham and began manufacturing steam engines. He died in 1819 after which the electrical unit `watt' was named in his honour.
Rev Hills, a writer of a number of books and founder curator of the North Western Museum of Science and Industry, traced the life of Watt and demonstrated with sketches and slides how he proved his skills in production, civil, mechanical and chemical engineering.
In February West Midlands Branch members were kept busy representing the Institute once again at the annual careers open day `Engineering 2000' at Austin Court in Birmingham.
Organised by the Local Institution of Electrical Engineers the day was aimed at students from Technical Colleges and 6th Form School leavers. Indications were that the students were taking a much more mature approach to future career prospects than in previous years. Helping to man the stand with Paul Burrows was Rachel Abercrombie, a young graduate YME. Paul Burrows and Rachel Abercrombie explain all about maritime engineering
Also in February the Branch played host to David Aris and his Liberty Ships Roadshow. 38 members and guests heard David's talk on `Liberty ship construction and history' as part of his nation-wide tour. (The content was similar to that mentioned in the Southern Jt branch report in this Bulletin).

Newcastle, NSW

The many projects undertaken by leading Australian naval architect and marine engineering consultancy Barnes & Fleck were explained by member Neil Fleck to the Branch in April. Until the recent closure of the company Neil was the remaining partner with the firm he set up with Tom Barnes in 1968.
Neil served his apprenticeship with the Sydney firm of Poole & Steel and went to sea with Shell Tankers, Kie Hock (Singapore), Williamson (HK), British Phosphate Commissioners and Australian National Line. He took up a position as lecturer at Newcastle Technical College where he met Tom.
He presentation traced the progress of the company up to 2000. Members heard that designs were produced for some 85 tugs and a wide range of other craft including passenger ferries, luxury cruise vessels, split hopper barges, dredgers, a navigation aids servicing vessel and dumb barges. Carrington Slipways built the majority of these in Newcastle. The presentation also touched on side launching, the method adopted by Carrington.
Members heard that many other consultancy projects were also undertaken for Australian operators and were interested to learn that some 600 proposals were submitted to various clients over the company's 32 years.

The Institute of Marine Engineers Guild of Benevolence Chairman's Report for 1999

Past and present GoB Committee members: Standing l-r: GS Mole, EC Pidgeon OBE, JR Parker, SW Nicholls MBE, R Anderson, DA Cross, BK Batten, GA Hodge, KF Read CBE Hon. Sec., Seated l-r JC Woodhead, PM Low Hon. Treasurer, DR Cusdin Chairman, FC Brown Dep. Chairman, J McNaught, PM Carr

The 66th Annual General Meeting was held at 80 Coleman Street on 9 March 2000. Mr R Anderson and Mr PM Carr retired as Trustees and Cdr EC Pidgeon OBE and Mr JC Woodhead were voted onto the Committee as Trustees. The Chairman, David Cusdin, and the Honorary Treasurer, Peter Low, reported on the year's activities.
During the financial year, up to 30 September 1999, the Guild considered 34 applications for financial assistance and awarded 9 new regular grants and 21 “one-off” grants. A total sum of £99 539 was paid in grants, an increase of 28% over the previous year. At the end of the year 88 beneficiaries were receiving regular grants and, for the third year running, the standard grant was increased. From 1 October 1999 it has been £15 per week. The Christmas bonus to the Guild's regular beneficiaries this year was maintained at £65 and was largely funded by the excellent result from the Tombola and Raffle at the Institute Conversazione which raised £4800.
Income during the year included £24 229 from the Institute Membership and Branches, £14 000 from King George's Fund for Sailors, a net income from investments of £90 336, and a Legacy of £36 000. This legacy was made by an elderly lady in memory of Mr Vincent Bristow Pybus, who had been a member of the IMarE and worked for the Singapore Harbour Board and died in a POW camp in Sumatra in 1944.
Altogether the total income for the year was £185 878. Operating expenditure fell by 18% to £29 353 and is now unlikely to drop further since the Guild relies heavily on the voluntary services of the Trustees for day to day administration and casework research. Costs paid for office facilities and services provided by the Institute are very modest. The net income for the year was a healthy £39 338.
It is very gratifying to be able to announce continued improvement in the assistance which the Guild provides to necessitous and deserving marine engineers and/or their dependents. However, there is always more which could be accomplished and the Guild Committee believes there are a number of areas where further improvement is possible. Three areas at the top of the list are:

Information about the Guild's work needs to be more widely publicised so that people in need of assistance can be put in contact with the Guild.
The standard weekly grant could be increased to £20 per week without exceeding the Government's “Charitable Disregard” and hence affecting State Benefits.
A wider range of “one-off” benefits could be provided to assist the most needy.

All three areas can be significantly assisted by the actions of members of the Institute.
Point (1) can be helped by Institute members who, in the course of their professional work or social contacts, may become aware of cases where the Guild may be able to assist. The Guild Committee will always welcome the referral of potential cases which would be handled with great discretion. Local knowledge can also prove very valuable when assessing applications and advice through Branches of the Institute is a growing resource which the Guild is eager to encourage. So far eleven Branches have nominated a member to be a contact point for Guild issues but the ideal is to have a contact in every Branch worldwide.
Points (2) and (3) are dependent on the overall financial resources of the Guild. While the greater part of the Guild's income derives from its investment portfolio, a very important part, £24 229 in 1999, comes from donations from members and Branches of the Institute. Many members make a donation of £3 to the Guild when they pay their annual membership subscription to the Institute. Others make a separate donation, often as a Deed of Covenant which is a tax efficient method of making charitable gifts.
Under new rules introduced in the UK in April 2000, Deeds of Covenant are replaced by Gift Aid whereby the Guild can reclaim tax paid by the giver on any size of donation made to the Guild. Membership of the Guild, which confers voting rights at Annual and Extraordinary General meetings, is available at an annual subscription of £10.Life Membership of the Guild is currently granted for a subscription of £100. In the longer term it is also possible to leave a legacy in favour of the Guild.
In addition to the legacy in memory of Mr Pybus, two further legacies of £5000 each were received recently, one of them in memory of the marine engineers in the Elder Dempster Lines who lost their lives during World War II. Companies and individuals also make contributions for the Tombola and Raffle at the Institute Conversazione, the proceeds from which go to the Guild. All such donations, subscriptions, gifts and legacies are very welcome and enable the Guild's work to continue and expand.
To end, I would like to give an outline of the Guild's work in one recent case. An Institute member having spent several years at sea and ashore in the marine engineering industry, had retired and lived with his wife on a modest pension. They managed well for a number of years until the wife became ill and needed medical attention which grew progressively more extensive.
The psychological strain as well as the financial implications became overwhelming and eventually the couple sank into substantial debt and were struggling to maintain their home in reasonable condition. The Guild was able to relieve part of the debt so that repayment of the balance became possible from income.
A respite care holiday was provided for the couple and while they were away their home was given a thorough spring clean. I am sure you can imagine the impact which these actions had on their lives.
I am pleased to be able to report such an excellent year for the Guild and look forward, with the continued support from Institute members, to increasing the help which can be given to less fortunate marine engineers and their dependents.

Copies of the full minutes of the 66th AGM and the Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 1999 can be obtained by writing to the Hon. Secretary, 80 Coleman Street, London, EC2R 5BJ, UK, or by email to gob@imare.org.uk.
