About Us

Our vision is to be the most trusted voice across the marine sector: a global community for all marine professionals.

We are the largest marine organisation of our kind and the first institute to bring together marine engineers, scientists and technologists into one international multi-disciplinary professional body.

We promote the scientific development of marine engineering, science and technology, providing opportunities for the exchange of ideas and practices and upholding the status, standards and knowledge of marine professionals worldwide.

We enhance the professional development of marine engineers, scientists and technologists at all stages of their careers. Through our international branches and multidisciplinary special interest groups we enable marine professionals to engage on relevant topics, share knowledge and drive change. Through our partnerships with academia, industry and regulators, we raise professional standards and awareness.
