1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-eighth
session (24 November to 3 December 2010), approved amendments to SOLAS regulation V/23 which, inter alia, include
amendments to the Required Boarding Arrangements for Pilots (resolution MSC.308(88)). In addition, the
twenty-seventh regular session of the Assembly, in December 2011,
adopted resolution A.1045(27) on Pilot transfer arrangements.
2 These changes required amendments to the poster
previously circulated under cover of MSC/Circ.568/Rev.1. The attached
revised poster incorporates the most significant changes adopted by
MSC 88.
3 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its ninetieth
session (16 to 25 May 2012), concurred with the recommendation of
the fifty-seventh session of the NAV Sub-Committee regarding Required
boarding arrangements for pilots (6 to 10 June 2011) and approved
a revision of the poster.
4 Member Governments are requested to bring the
revised poster to the attention of their pilots, seafarers, shipowners,
ship operators and others concerned with pilot boarding arrangements.
