ISPO - International Standard for Maritime Pilot Organisations

Profile

Due to the nature of the job pilots must be self-confident and assertive, but at the same time team players able to slot into any vessel’s bridge team during the most critical phases of a vessel’s passage.

Pilots believe they offer quality services but ever increasingly there is demand, particularly from the oil industry, for transparency and auditable standards from the services offered by pilots.

Furthermore, adopting the ISPO system gives you a good opportunity to have a close look at all processes within a pilotage organization. It delivers a management system that not only promotes a safety culture but also allows for continuous improvement.
