On this page you will find up to date information about different forms of membership of The Nautical Institute. There are three separate memberships:
Membership of The Nautical Institute Netherlands Branch
The Nautical Institute Netherlands Branch (NI-NL) is an independent body of The Nautical Institute (NI) in London, UK. We keep a list of all NI members living in The Netherlands and we will approach them from time to time to inform them about the branch. We consider them “Members of NI-NL”. Other interested maritime professionals who are interested in the work of the NI-NL can register themselves at the Registration page. We consider them ” Associated members of NI-NL”. Membership of the branch is free for all members. For events and activities, the committee will seek funding from sponsors, and members. The committee may ask Associated Members to pay extra to participate in events and activities of NI-NL.
One of the goals of NI-NL is to raise the number of NI members in The Netherlands. In order to do so we will actively approach Associated Members and ask them to become NI members. More information on that can be found below.
