We are deeply honoured that Arie Palmers has entrusted us with the exclusive right to be the first to publish his next article, "Changing Times." The article delves into Arie's specialist subject, "Pilot Transfer Arrangements" (PTAs), and examines the disconnect between safety management systems and what happens on deck when rigging PTAs.

The opinions expressed in this article, while not reflecting the official position of EMPA, are a catalyst for fostering a constructive dialogue within the maritime industry. Our shared goal is to enhance the safety of pilot transfer operations, and your voice is an integral part of this process.
