The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) will hold a South America Section meeting on the afternoon of Tuesday 10 November at the Novotel Santos Dumont in Rio de Janeiro. Registration for this free-to-attend event is through events@imca-int.com

Central to the meeting will be a presentation on IMCA M149, the Common Marine Inspection Document (CMID) and an update by IMCA’s Technical Adviser, Chris Baldwin on the Accredited Vessel Inspector Scheme run in association with the International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS) http://cmidvesselinspectors.com/. There are now well over a hundred accredited vessel inspectors in over 20 countries.

Updates on the IMCA’s general activities will be a feature of the afternoon, as will updates on the association’s work programme including ‘Brazilian personnel and skill states’. There will also be updates from other organisations including IBP – Instituto Brasileiro de Petróleo Gás e Biocombustiveis; ABESPetro; ABEAM – The Brazilian Association of Offshore Support Companies; and the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC).
