About US
RINA Victoria Section hosts technical meetings, typically four per year. The meetings are held in-person and streamed live, recorded, placed on the RINA YouTube channel (with permission), and are reported in The Australian Naval Architect.
RINA Victoria Section, together with the Institute of Marine Engineers Scientists and Technologists Victoria Branch and the Company of Master Mariners Melbourne Branch, also organises a Social Event for the marine industry in mid-November at the Mission to Seafarers in Docklands.
EVENTS
Technical presentations are generally held at the Mission to Seafarers in Docklands, starting at 17:30 for refreshments and 18:00 for the presentation, and finishing by 20:00. Guests are welcome.
Meetings are subject to change at short notice so, if you are making extensive arrangements to attend, then please confirm the date, time and place with the Secretary of the Section.
