Introductory note to Lenders and Insurers

Thank you for taking the time to review this page and our web site.

Please read on if we have missed your organization in our ongoing communications effort.

We have, over the years, made a strong effort to contact all Lenders

and Insurers who share our interest in the various marine products we service.

The first page of our web site explains the reason for our existence

and how we were formed.  It is important for you to note that we share the ideas

of other similar organizations with regard to our membership's qualifications and practices.

Please note our  "Code of Ethics page".

The first page of our web site also explains our "ongoing education policy".

We are an organization who does not offer the annual meeting in "far away places",

but does offer to each member the ability to remain "up to date with technological changes"

via our information exchange. Our members can have any number of questions or unusual situations researched by the home office at any time.

We invite all Professionals in the Marine Industry with an interest in Marine Survey work to join our Organization as an Associate Member. Our members who are certified have proven their knowledge of the trade, not by taking a test, but by experience, and marine trade references. We feel that a Marine Surveyor who has been working full time as a Marine Surveyor for five years is certainly a viable candidate. We then check his work, his reports, and his references.

We feel, after reviewing reports of members of other organizations and ours, that it can be determined if a person is doing professional work by reading his reports and reviewing comments by his references and peers.

If you have questions that were not answered by reading over the material in this web site,

please call direct to the home office at (401) 397-1888  and speak with the person in charge.

Thanks again for taking the time to check us out,  and we hope you will consider

 doing business with our members.
