New Membership pathway for maritime professionals

RINA is delighted to introduce two new tiers for those with expertise outside of our core of naval architecture and maritime engineering. The new tiers recognise the indisputable value of associated disciplines to maritime innovation and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration.

Designed specifically for professionals working across the wider maritime sector, this new progression pathway supports their continued professional development, as well as enriching the talent pool of our global maritime community.

 

What’s new?

We’ve introduced two membership levels to reflect career progression:

• Associate Fellow (AFRINA) – for senior professionals demonstrating leadership and significant contribution.
• Associate Professional (APRINA) – for established professionals with recognised competence and responsibility.

 

Why this matters

This new structure provides:

• A clearer pathway for career progression.
• Recognition of expertise across a broader range of maritime roles.
• Opportunities to engage more deeply with the professional community.
