This is a very good initiative from a class society. IMPA survey shows almost no reporting on pilot ladder non compliances, where almost 60% vessels calling Indian Ports are non -complaint in PTA. now AIMPA is looking for to Indian Administration to issue a Marine notice to this effect where more force will be given to these inspections. Indian administration has already promised AIMPA to start focused inspection on all vessels calling Indian ports from March 2021. We welcome this move.

Article Swift Action By UK Maritime Pilots Avoids Blocking Southampton Water

published on 31 January 2023

The United Kingdom Maritime Pilots Association (UKMPA), is the representative professional body for Maritime Pilots in the United Kingdom. Almost every ship entering or leaving a port, is required under UK law to engage a duly Authorised Maritime Pilot, who either boards the vessel in port or at sea and takes conduct of the safe navigation of that vessel. This undertaking is critical to protecting the country’s national infrastructure and environment from damage or pollution, supporting the UK’s economy, and ensuring the safe, timely and efficient movement of all trade.
