The first step towards creating a global federation uniting professional and learned societies within the marine engineering, science and technology (MEST) world has taken place.
Strong focus will be put on cross-border projects as these are typically the most difficult to implement. Implementation should produce time savings for international transport, help to reduce pollution caused by transport and contribute to more balanced spatial development.
With the signing of an alliance agreement between the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), co-operation will cover five key areas: membership, governance, publications, events, and marketing.
