Safety is our Concern

The Ghana Institute of Marine Surveyors (GIMS) was formed in 1992 as the Ghana Association of Marine Surveyors (GAMS). To ensure that only qualified professionals engage in the practice of marine surveying in the country and in the wake of Ghana's oil and gas find, the association was registered as a professional body in May 2011. Members are Chief Engineers, Master Mariners, Senior Naval Officers or persons of similar suitable qualification in the maritime profession who are registered and gazetted by the Ghana Government to carry out marine survey activities in the country.

Since then GIMS has served the marine survey profession by providing Ghana's maritime industry with recognized, highly qualified marine surveyors in three general surveying disciplines: Hull and Machinery, Insurance, and Cargo. Hull and Machinery surveyors deal with the condition, value, construction, and damage of commercial vessels, barges, propulsion machinery, cranes and other marine equipment

Members of GIMS have different fields of expertise. Some are qualified in commercial, hull and cargo matters, while others specialize in the fields of engineering, marine insurance claims or oils and chemicals. Our members are active all over the West and Central coasts of Africa and help to ensure the integrity of ECOWAS maritme industry. The various Survey Categories into which our members can roughly be grouped and classed are shown here while more detailed information is available in a brochure available from the Institute's Secretariat in Ghana
