The IMarEST is a professional body and learned society for those operating in spheres of marine engineering, science or technology. Via this organisation, a competent, experienced, qualified individual working in a marine discipline may gain peer-reviewed international recognition of their professional status. Through its Royal Charter, the IMarEST may accredit its 'Corporate (professional) Members' (total membership is c.15,000 members across the world), as Chartered Engineer (via the Engineering Council UK), Chartered Marine Engineer, Chartered Scientist (via the Science Council), Chartered Marine Scientist, Chartered Marine Technologist, Incorporated Engineer (via the ECUK), Incorporated Marine Engineer, Engineering Technician (via the ECUK) or Marine Engineering Technician. The Institute is also a publisher of books, periodicals, magazines, journals and papers related to marine engineering, science and technology, and organizes meetings, events and conferences related to these themes. The IMarEST is also the home of the Marine Information Centre, a dedicated collection of books and data related to marine science, engineering and technology. See www.imarest.org for more information. The institute is also the home of the Guild of Benevolence of the IMarEST, which continues the work of the fund founded for the families of the engineers of the Titanic, and which today provides help and funds for those sea-farers and others who find themselves in hard times.
