Benefits
The Nautical Institute is a thriving membership organisation, open to all those with a professional interest in the control of sea-going ships and other maritime matters, with appropriate grades of membership dependent on qualifications and experience. As professionals, members abide by the Institute’s Code of Ethics, and support, through subscription and voluntary activities, the work of the Institute to achieve its aims and objectives.
Members are further supported by a thriving branch network which provides international input and a local focus for professional forums, networking, and social activities. The role of the Branches is crucial to the Institute’s ability to be a grass roots organisation providing a professional representation internationally.
The strength of purpose which has enabled the Institute to gain its influential position in the maritime world, since it was founded in 1971, can be summarised in the statement:- "If we need to improve our professional standing we must do it ourselves".
The Nautical Institute is the way forward in this continuing need, so join now.
