Short Overview
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.
Detailed Overview
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 under IMO resolution MSC.576 (110). 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.
