TRENZ starts Open Testing phase for Pilot-Guard


by Marine-Pilots.com - published on 11 October 2024 1955 -

TRENZ announces the immediate start of the Open Testing phase for Pilot-Guard.org, a platform designed to enhance the safety of maritime pilots through effective deficiency reporting and data exchange.

One of the major risk factors faced by maritime pilots is the use of defective or non-compliant pilot ladders, which significantly contribute to accidents. Pilot-Guard.org addresses this critical issue by enabling pilots to report unsafe conditions related to pilot ladders in real-time, thereby fostering a safer and more transparent maritime environment.

Pilot-Guard aims to create a global network of maritime pilots and pilot organizations, allowing for real-time sharing of safety-critical information. The platform is now available for maritime pilots worldwide to explore and contribute to during this Open Testing phase.

  • Comprehensive Vessel Database: The platform integrates with an extensive database of over 60,000 vessels, allowing for efficient and precise reporting.
  • Cross-Platform Accessibility: Pilot-Guard is accessible via both web and mobile applications (available for iOS and Android), enabling pilots to report and access information from any location.
  • System Integration: For pilot organizations with existing reporting infrastructures, Pilot-Guard offers an API (Application Programming Interface) for seamless integration, facilitating the exchange of safety data between systems.
