This year, World Maritime Day and the International Maritime Organization offer an opportunity to reflect on our relationships with the Oceans. We are no exception.
Our Ocean – Maritime pilots serve to protect the economic, social, and environmental interests of coastal States and their people by enabling safe and efficient navigation to and from our oceans.
Our Obligation – Maritime pilots reduce risk by x528 to safeguard navigation, protect life and prevent waterborne pollution and deliver near incident-free access to ports, harbours, rivers, canals, and lakes.
Our Opportunity – To intensify our pursuit of a resilient and inclusive workforce that embodies the highest professional and operational standards. To adopt technology which demonstrably enhances the performance of maritime pilotage as a public service.
