These days our Vice President Matthias Böhmen and our Treasurer Ron Vermeulen are attending the IAATI_EB Vehicle Crime Investigators’ meeting in Ghent, Belgium. As we know, vehicle crime often overlaps with crime in the nautical world, and we continue our expansion of relationships and exchange in the world of prevention and fight against crime.

We firmly believe that sharing is a great step towards taking care, and we are already planning new events that will lead to a common enrichment. As a starter, we look forward to seeing you at our next meeting in Düsseldorf

Orca whales catching a sailor

Frightnening adventure for a  sailor feeling himself in unreversable trouble, when a pod of orca whales attacked his boat.

The 27 years old  was under attack more than two hours by several of these mammals reaching  25ft long and weighting  five tonnes each

“As per the best horror novel at one point all became quiet around me” this told by the young sailor, but after a while he saw the mammals pod changing direction again and coming back to him, do you remember the movie Jaws? well I can imagine something like this

let’s jump to the footage

All the GMI Board after several internal discussions reached out this common decision as we don’t expect conditions to improve to a point where we could feasibly hold the planned in-person meeting in October” said GMI Board Yusuf Civelekoglu
