AIMS wishes to congratulate full member Simon Gravenall on his appointment as Chief Executive Officer at Maritime Safety Authority Fiji.

With an extensive history in the Maritime industry  including executive positions Simon's career has included positions in both the commercial and government  sectors both domestically and  internationally.

Simon's drive for marine surveying standards has been a factor since the inception of the creation of the first accredited diploma in marine surveying in the world. A true watershed moment for the industry which could not have been achieved without the dedication of the national working committee which Simon also contributed to .

AIMS is confident the combination of Simon's experience and marine surveyor background makes him well placed to lead MSAF.

When asked Simon stated ‘ I am very humbled to accept this position and look forward to working with the AIMS as the peak industry body for all sectors of the Marine Surveying in the Australasian/Pacific region’

Well done Simon and good luck in your role.
