The International Group of P&I Clubs is delighted to be a supporting association of the updated Shipping Industry Guidance on Pilot Transfer Arrangements published recently by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and the International Maritime Pilots’ Association (IMPA).
The guidance is intended to remind seafarers and companies of the vital importance of adhering to the rules and established procedures concerning the provision of safe boarding arrangements for pilots. This updated guidance contains a new section outlining the International Maritime Organization (IMO) guidance on combination embarkation platform arrangements.
