Marine Pilot Manager - Port Hedland

On Wednesday June 23rd, AMURA - a Spanish company specialized in technology for pilots - is organizing the first international event after pandemic for Pilots.

As we all know there is a new regulation established since July 2012, this new regulation refers to pilot transfer arrangements. There are other yearly safety campaigns such as IMPA that include SOLAS V.23 and IMO Resolution A 1045 and Resolution A.1108(29). Unfortunately, in this annual overview there were some accidents reported that could have been avoided.
