The Institute of Marine Engineers is a professional institution and learned society and is the largest in its field in the world. It was founded in 1889 to provide a forum for discussion on engineering matters and to enhance the status of the profession. The principles then established have been maintained and today the Institute, with in excess of 16,000 members throughout the world is a respected authority in every maritime country. It is a truly international organisation and has non-governmental consultative status of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The Institute has a network of 43 branches around the world organised into divisions, which enable its members to participate in the affairs of the Institute, keep up to date through attendance at technical meetings, and attend social functions involving people from all types of maritime activity. The members of the Institute are drawn from all areas of maritime technology, naval architecture, offshore and subsea engineering, and structural, mechanical, civil and electrical engineering with marine applications. They are also deployed throughout the marine industries in consultancies, Government agencies, classification societies, and marine insurance.
