Asset Integrity and Safety

  • Overview

The IMarEST Asset Integrity & Safety Special Interest Group (AIS SIG) provides a global forum for professionals involved in the integrity, reliability and safe operation of marine and offshore assets. The SIG brings together industry, academia, regulators and technology providers to address challenges associated with structural integrity, corrosion, inspection, maintenance, risk management, safety, regulatory compliance and emerging technologies.

Through technical meetings, webinars, publications and collaborative initiatives, the SIG promotes knowledge sharing, professional development and industry best practice. The group supports IMarEST's commitment to advancing marine engineering, science and technology while contributing to safer and more sustainable operations worldwide.
