IMPA, The International Maritime Pilots' Association, is a professional, nonprofit
making body with a truly international outlook. It is primarily concerned with
promoting professional standards of pilotage worldwide in the interests of
pilots' safety. It seeks to fulfil this momentous task by encouraging both
consultation between its members and the exchange of technical information
with other industry partners and regulators at the local, national and
international levels.
The association was formed thanks to the initiative of pilots' associations from
the five continents whose representatives met in Kiel, Germany in June 1970.
IMPA was officially launched in Amsterdam in May 1971.
To date, it has over 8,000 members in 54 countries. IMPA seeks to
