The American Pilots’ Association (APA), one of the country’s oldest trade associations, has been the national association for the piloting profession since 1884.

Article DP World People: Ahmed Sati, Marine Pilot/IPSO DP at P&OML, UAE
published on 29 December 2022
Ahmed is an ideas man. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he came up with a way to protect pilots from infection by driving incoming ships remotely, allowing his team to virtually board foreign ships rather than encounter new people in person, which would have put his colleagues at risk.
