This publication brings together the experience and expertise of over 30 pilots and other industry experts, offering insight into the role of the marine pilot. It covers navigation in different locations, such as canals and rivers as well as deep sea and Coastal waters. Operational considerations, such as the capabilities and limitations of main tug types, are also given.
This publication begins with a brief history of pilotage and pilot liability. It then provides detail on practical aspects of pilotage, such as the Master/Pilot exchange, pilot transfer, ship handling, fatigue management and training and certification. Legal considerations, such as civil liability and exemptions, highlight pilot responsibility for ship damages. Photographs, AIS screenshots and illustrations support the more practical sections on conducting pilotage.

7 IMPA Strategy
IMPA
IMPA, The International Maritime Pilots’ Association, is a professional, nonprofitmaking body with a truly international outlook. It is primarily concerned with promoting professional standards of pilotage worldwide in the interests of pilots’ safety. It seeks to fulfil this momentous task by encouraging both consultation between its members and the exchange of technical information with other industry partners and regulators at the local, national and international levels.
The
association
was
formed
thanks
to
the
initiative
of
pilots’
associations
from
the
five
continents
whose
representatives
met
in
Kiel,
Germany
in
June
1970.IMPA
was
officially
launched
in
Amsterdam
in
May
1971.
To
date,
it
has
over
8,000
members
in
54
countries.
IMPA
seeks
to
achieve
its
principal
objective
–
the
promotion
of
professionally
sound
and
safe
pilotage.
