Welcome to the Home Page of the Association of Certified Marine Surveyors
Furthering the Profession
ACMS (The Association of Certified Marine Surveyors) is an organization dedicated to furthering the marine surveying industry through communication and cooperation between individuals. We began the organization process during 1998 and were chartered as a corporation in the State of Rhode Island in July of 1999. Our primary goal is to provide an association for the purpose of certification and accreditation to which experienced Marine Surveyors can belong. Most associations charge annual dues well in excess of the cost of any actual service they may provide to the surveyor. We are offering interested Marine Surveyors who are certified or accredited a viable organization with reasonable annual dues. We are offering interested Marine Surveyors who are not yet certified an opportunity to advance through our requirements procedure to certification. All members have an automatic presence on the world wide web, (see the Directory of Members page by clicking here), and the option to have their own home page, with e-mail forwarding. Membership Levels
ACMS has two levels of membership, Certified Surveyors, and Associate Surveyors. Certified Surveyors are full time professionals with over five years of experience in the trade. Certified Surveyors possess the knowledge and experience necessary to do a complete and accurate survey. Associate Surveyors include professionals in the surveyor or other related marine trades who are practicing but have not yet completed all of the requirements for certification.
Continuing Education and Monthly Seminars
ACMS encourages all members to log on to our "Technical Information Exchange" whenever possible or necessary. No question will go unanswered. This service is currently available. Starting in June of 2004 we will conduct monthly, one day a week, seminars which will keep members "up to date" regarding new vessel construction techniques. Members can check in to the "new exchange" as often as they choose and read all queries along with the responses, and join in with their responses.
