IMPA has published examples of best practice together with a letter from Capt. Simon Pelletier, President of IMPA.

This notice reminds shipowners, operators, masters, crews, recognised organisations, marine pilots and pilotage providers of the obligation to provide safe pilot transfer arrangements.
