Pilot survey launches

The role of the pilot in mitigating the potential economic and environmental risk from today’s large vessels is one of the most important in maritime safety. In recognition of this, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has embarked on its first comprehensive survey of pilotage, towing and mooring services. The aim is to evaluate the extent to which established best practice is being followed. The survey can also be accessed via www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ICSPilotageTowingMooringSurvey2016/
