SUT+ What is a Chartered Marine Technologist with SUT, and is this something that will be of benefit to you?

Friday 13 November 2020 12:00 PM GMT

SUT is licensing the ability to offer registered Professional status as Chartered Marine Technologists for individuals who satisfy the relevant academic and experience requirements, from the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST).

In this webinar, SUT CEO Steve Hall will explain the benefits of professional registration, what the basic requirements are, and how to embark on the process. As part of SUT+, early career marine technologists may wish to consider this as something that gives them a competitive edge in the industry, commits them to long-term CPD, and can be of benefit as they progress through their career, particularly for those who lack a PhD but do have a Masters degree.

In the future SUT may also license Chartered Marine Engineer and Chartered Marine Scientist from IMarEST. We’ve co-developed the scheme with our friends at the Marine Technology Society and the CMarTech status will be recognised across IMarEST, SUT, & MTS.

RAPAT: Rapid Acceptance of Products & Technologies (Astrimar Webinar)

RAPAT (Rapid Acceptance of Products & Technologies) is a free, easy-to-use tool, created to help technology developers meet the urgent need for emergency product acceptance. Excel-based, our tool is applicable across a range of technologies and leads the developer through a series of questions and worksheets to help define technology and user requirements and understand the associated risks and to support you in demonstrating evidence of fulfilling the requirements and managing the risks so the technology can be verified/approved for use by end-user. As a generic tool, it is also applicable for non-emergency applications and provides a structured approach based on industry best practice to support product acceptance and certification.

Caroline is Managing Director of Astrimar, Chief Consultant and Fellow of IMechE, with over 25 years’ experience in oil and gas, and subsea engineering sectors.  Caroline’s technical expertise in reliability engineering, integrity, technical risk management, and technology qualification has supported development of industry best practice.  She has coached numerous operators and technology developers in their implementation. Caroline is passionate about helping clients understand and prevent failures at every stage of the life cycle from technology concept through to end of life and asset decommissioning.  Since its 2010 inception, Astrimar has been a leader in reliability and technology qualification best practice and is currently developing TQ guidance for OGTC.
