Membership of The Nautical Institute has afforded me many
professional and personal benefits throughout my marine career,
ranging from access to a global network of professionals, to social
contacts and friendships.
Captain David ‘Duke’ Snider FNI, Canada

I am very happy to be a member of The Nautical Institute.

Besides being part of an international maritime community of
great quality, it means I can keep up to date on important topics
in the shipping world. I really recommend being a member of
The Nautical Institute.
Captain Jones Soares MNI, Brazil

From the discount on books, to being able to voice my opinion as part

of the Sea Going Correspondence Group, to Seaways magazine enabling
me to keep up to date with the latest developments from mariners
themselves, membership of the Institute has afforded me benefits that
have spanned from cadet to ship to shore.
