Inmartech history

The first International Marine Technicians (INMARTECH) meeting was instigated by what is now known as IRSO, hosted by NERC in 1996, in Southampton, UK. The purpose was to provide a forum for marine technicians to meet, and exchange knowledge and experiences, aiming to improve equipment performance, equipment deployment, and operational techniques during scientific cruises on research vessels.
