Role of the Branches

The principal aim of the branches is “to promote the activities and increase the membership of The Nautical Institute in the area”.

The Branches are vibrant, pro-active organisations of current professionals, and provide:
  • A local professional focus.
  • Communication and fellowship with other nautical professionals (networking).
  • Solving professional problems through seminars and workshops.
  • A programme of technical and social meetings.
  • Local and, in some cases, national representation on regulatory bodies or users’ groups.
  • Assistance with updating and professional development.
  • Involvement with projects locally and internationally.
  • Development of management and organisational skills.
