The formation of the All India Marine Pilot Association was a task which was required at any cost. The hurdles of Morale ground were noticed and one such organization was then decided to be formed by Group of Mariners who care for ’safety and security’ of the Pilot.

Engage Marine has announced that it recently awarded the marine pilot transfer services contract by the Port of Townsville.

The transfer of pilots to and from seagoing vessels should not rely solely on mutual trust and good intentions.
