The “Pilot Boarding Arrangement” poster, created in accordance with SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) and the International Maritime Pilots Association (IMPA), serves as a visual guide and reference tool for implementing safe and compliant pilot transfers between ships and maritime pilots. This poster is designed to provide clear and concise information regarding the proper procedures and equipment required for pilot boarding arrangements.
The poster includes detailed illustrations and explanatory text, outlining the recommended pilot boarding area on the vessel, along with the correct positioning and attachment of pilot ladders or other approved means of access. It emphasizes the importance of following SOLAS regulations and IMPA guidelines, such as ensuring adequate lighting, stability, and secure fastening of the boarding equipment. The poster also highlights the significance of effective communication and coordination between the ship’s crew and the pilot service during the transfer process.
