Marine pilots routinely face high-risk transfers between moving ships and small boats, often in challenging conditions. A single failure in equipment or procedure can result in severe injury or loss of life. To address these issues, the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee during its 110th session (MSC 110) adopted amendments to SOLAS Regulation V/23 and the associated new Performance Standards for pilot transfer arrangements, which contains detailed requirements for design, manufacture, construction, inspection, stowage, maintenance, replacement, and familiarisation. The amendments, which will enter into force on 1 January 2028, forbid the use of mechanical pilot hoists and require adequate lighting for all pilot transfer areas and deck embarkation points. The IMO has issued a circular encouraging voluntary early implementation ahead of the specified dates. Additional info: Included Required Pilot Transfer Arrangements Poster - for HIGH Resolution printing, in accordance with SOLAS Chapter V Regulation 23 (2025). In accordance with IMO requirements and IMPA recommendations, this 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. 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.
