Ship Repair, Maintenance, and Safety

  • Overview

Joining the Ship Maintenance, Repair and Safety Special Interest Group gives you the opportunity to join in the group’s efforts to support the challenging area of safety in ship design, maintenance and repair.  

The group brings together ship and dockyard owners/operators, ship builders and marine engineering experts to share best practice in safe and responsible operations and provides well-informed independent technical information to policy makers, encouraging the development of practical solutions and fit-for-purpose regulations, including updates to SOLAS, safety standards and design arrangements. 

If you are interested in joining the group, log in to My IMarEST and select the group from the list.
