WMTC overview

WMTC aims to provide a high profile technical and innovation event producing a major contribution to the maritime industry as a whole; an exhibition will run in parallel with WMTC 2006. In addition, it aims to provide greater awareness of IMarEST worldwide and its associated Sponsors and Global Partners.

WMTC 2006 will offer the sponsor:

  • Promotion worldwide to all three sections of the Institute’s community – engineering, science and technology
  • Interaction with existing and potential clients against the backdrop of WMTC
  • The opportunity to associate with an international Institute promoting technical excellence and cutting edge technology which is then reflected within its own organisation

IMarEST overview

The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) is the international membership body and learned society for all marine professionals; although based in London over 40% of its membership is overseas. The Institute is the first professional institution to bring together marine engineers, scientists and technologists into one international multi-disciplinary professional body. It is the largest marine organisation of its kind with a world wide membership of over 15,000 professionals in over 100 countries.

The IMarEST is a respected authority in every maritime country and is a truly international organisation that has non-governmental status with the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In addition, IMarEST branches worldwide often have close links with their own governments and national NGO’s.
