Pilot Boarding Arrangements as per SOLAS 2030 requirements

Pilot transfer operations are critical safety activities that require properly designed, maintained, and operated arrangements to ensure the safe embarkation and disembarkation of pilots. Deficiencies in pilot transfer arrangements remain a significant concern during inspections and marine operations, making compliance with international requirements essential for ship operators, masters, and maritime personnel.

The Pilot Boarding Arrangements: SOLAS 2030 Compliance Requirements by LMA provides participants with comprehensive knowledge of regulatory requirements, equipment standards, operational procedures, and safety practices related to pilot transfer arrangements. The programme reflects internationally recognised maritime safety requirements, including relevant provisions of SOLAS Chapter V Regulation 23, applicable IMO pilot transfer arrangement requirements, IMO Resolution A.1045(27) as amended, IMO safety management principles under the ISM Code, and industry best practices. This course enhances participants’ ability to support safe, compliant, and effective pilot transfer operations.
