NEW marine repor ts and guides
Pilot ladders remain the leading source of non-compliant observations says IMPA
The latest International Maritime Pilots’ Association (IMPA) Safety Campaign report on pilot ladders raises awareness of the need for pilot transfer arrangements to be procured, inspected, maintained and rigged in compliance with SOLAS regulation V/23, taking complete account of the ISO 799 standards. IMPA highlights that Pilot ladders remain the leading source of non-compliant observations.
The results of the 2024 IMPA Safety Campaign show that there’s no significant change to historic non-compliance trends. The campaign took place from 1 to 15 October. In 2024, the survey was supported for the first time by a native application, which is anticipated to help more maritime pilots actively participate in the future.
Key findings of the 2024 IMPA Safety Campaign: IMPA Beliefs
- The public interest is best served by a fully regulated and cohesive pilotage service free of commercial pressure.
- There is no substitute for the presence of a qualified pilot on the bridge.
- IMO is the prime authority in matters concerning safety of international shipping.
- All states should adopt a responsible approach based on proven safety strategies in establishing their own regulations, standards, and procedures with respect to pilotage.
- IMPA represents the international community of pilots. We use the resources of our membership to promote effective safety outcomes in pilotage as an essential public service.
- Existing and emerging information technologies are capable of enhancing on-board decision-making by the maritime pilot.

- Retrieval line rigging and pilot ladder serviceability remain weaknesses
Allianz Risk Barometer 2025: Cyber risk climbs to the top by largest margin ever
Cyber incidents are the top global risk for 2025 and by a higher margin than ever before – making it the fourth year in a row that cyber is ranked as the number one risk across industries, according to the Allianz Risk Barometer 2025.
Top global risks overview
Cyber incidents consolidate their position as the most important risk – with 38% of responses, a record 7% points ahead. Notably, the risk impact of new technologies and developments in artificial intelligence (AI) is a new entrant in the top 10 global risks at #10. Closely interlinked to cyber, business interruption is ranked #2 (31%), just ahead of another related risk, natural catastrophes at #3 (29%).
Climate change is another standout result in 2025 making it the biggest mover in the top 10 risks globally, climbing two places to #5 (19%), achieving its highest-ever position in the 14 years of the survey.
