Safer pilot boarding arrangements on Bahamas flagged vessels

The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) once again demonstrates its commitment to seafarer safety by being the first registry to instigate a Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) for pilot transfer arrangements. 

Recently The BMA carried out a Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on Pilot Transfer Arrangements. This campaign involved Authorized Nautical Inspectors of The BMA, Vessel Crew, Ship Management companies and industry experts.

The campaign was conducted under the coordination of the Inspection and Survey Department of The BMA London Office. BMA Safety Alert 2021-01 was issued in January 2021 to advise registered Vessels, Managers and Owners of a campaign recently completed by the International Maritime Pilots Association highlighting common defects.
