Please be aware that we have had quite a lot of scam and a couple of attempts to hack into both the President and Executive Officer emails.

We would like to remind all members that neither the President or EO or any other Council or staff member of the AIMS would ever request that a member deposit money into an account that is not the official AIMS bank account. 

No-one at the AIMS would request money without providing you with an invoice clearly stating what the payment is required for.

Once the AGM is over the EO will retain the services of a website IT specialist and attempt to reduce all spam attacks on our website.

We will also take all email addresses off the find a surveyor section and provide only phone numbers and physical work addresses. Email addresses of members will be kept in the members only area when that is finally established.

If the membership is agreeable we will keep full contact details in a section for lawyers, shippers and insurers and provide them with an access code.

The Blue Book will also be forwarded to corporate users of marine surveyor services to ensure that all members have good advertising and coverage of their services wherever possible.
