The Network of Independent Marine Surveyors


Highly qualified, locally knowledgeable, independent marine surveyors have always been the 'Back-bone' of our industry. It is no different today. All of the agency systems of appointed marine surveyors were founded on the best of these well known, experienced individuals.

With the modern age of computers, instant satellite communications, the constant need for immediate information and expertise, you need access to the best surveyor available.

For that reason Captain Terence Noddle, Capt. T. Noddle and Associates, Inc. and Ralph Wood, Ralph Wood Services, Inc. have founded N.I.M.S. The combined experience of these two surveyors is over fifty years. Their experience and positions in the industry, which includes being Director and Managing Director respectively, of a large international surveying company, placed them in a position to personally know, and to have evaluated, independent surveyors worldwide.

They have now made use of this knowledge, and their experience, in organizing N.I.M.S., The Network of Independent Marine Surveyors, so you may have access to the "best in the business". By inviting the best to participate in a network, the client benefits the most. You have an Independent Marine Surveyor who is now part of a Network of his peers. Specialized information, reference materials, and most importantly of all, experience, is now 'Networked' for the industry.

The freedom of independence, the lack of corporate expense and involvement, the local knowledge and contacts, all lead to a top rate professional surveyor providing a prompt and cost effective survey. This explains the need for N.I.M.S., the concept for establishing N.I.M.S. and the results you obtain from N.I.M.S. We are truly a Network of Independent Marine Surveyors.
