September 2026 WATERLINE | 31 MARINA TRAINING INSTITUTE CERTIFIED EQUIPEMENTS FOR SHIPYARDS Fully customisable hardware to maximise your capabilities The MIA invites members to register their interest in two exciting study tour opportunities. Expressing interest doesn’t commit you to the tour, but it provides the MIA with an insight into demand. Once registered you will be contacted if the decision is made to proceed. In the event the tour is oversold, registration will be offered on a first-come first-confirmed basis. Places on both tours are limited, so members are encouraged to express their interest early via the MIA website: marinas.net.au/training-education TWO NEW MIA STUDY TOURS EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST NOW OPEN MANUFACTURER & MARINA INFRASTRUCTURE STUDY TOUR: 5-6 NOVEMBER 2026 First up is the Marina Manufacturer Study Tour, running 5-6 November in partnership with PIANC APAC.
