Required Boarding Arrangements for Pilot - In accordance with SOLAS v/23 & IMO Resolution A.1045(27)
£4.00
In accordance with IMO requirements and IMPA recommendations, this laminated A2 poster explains how to safely rig pilot boarding and transfer arrangements. It illustrates the different arrangements required according to the height of the access point above the waterline. It also sets out the duties of the responsible officer during pilot boarding and disembarkation.
The poster reflects the requirements detailed in SOLAS Ch V, Reg 23 and the approved IMO circular MSC.1/Circ.1428/Rev.1. The updated requirements were adopted by the IMO at its 110th MSC session on 25 June 2025. While the updated requirements do not enter into force until 1 January 2028, the voluntary early implementation of the updated amendments to SOLAS Ch V, Reg 23 and the use of this updated pilot boarding arrangements poster are strongly recommended under MSC.1/Circ.1690.
IMO
As a specialised agency of the United Nations, IMO is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.
In other words, its role is to create a level playing-field so that ship operators cannot address their financial issues by simply cutting corners and compromising on safety, security and environmental performance. This approach also encourages innovation and efficiency.
Shipping is a truly international industry, and it can only operate effectively if the regulations and standards are themselves agreed, adopted and implemented on an international basis. And IMO is the forum at which this process takes place.
