The Maritime Safety Committee

  1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-fourth session (5 to 9 December 1994), approved a poster detailing the "Required boarding arrangements for pilots". A copy of the approved poster was circulated with MSC/Circ.568/Rev.1, dated 23 February 1995.

  2 At that time, the International Maritime Pilots' Association (IMPA) undertook to print the poster for distribution. Subsequently, some minor differences to the layout and presentation of the poster were made by IMPA, without any changes of substance, which were agreed by the Sub-Committee on Safety of Navigation (NAV) at its forty-second session in July 1996.

  3 The Committee, at its sixty-seventh session (2 to 6 December 1996), concurred with the recommendation of NAV 42 and approved a revision of the poster attached to MSC/Circ.568 concerning use of pilot hoists.

  4 Member Governments are requested to bring the revised poster, given at annex, to the attention of maritime pilots, seafarers, shipowners, ship operators and others concerned with pilot boarding arrangements.

  5 This circular supersedes MSC/Circ.568.
