Liverpool will be the host city in October 2014 where the participant members of the International User Group of the International Standard for maritime Pilot Organisations will convene for two days. As part of that process and in order to attract additional participant Pilotage organisations to consider joining the ISPO community which now represents in excess of 600 pilots within the 13 member organisations, the first day will be dedicated to a public awareness day where Pilotage organisations, Harbour Authorities and Port Users are invited to attend to gain a better insight into the ISPO standard and to what it means to be certified.

The public day will be held at the Liverpool Maritime Museum and the conference will be formally opened by Mrs Louise Ellman MP, Chair of the Transport Select Committee of the House of Commons, with two further political guests both of whom are members of the European Parliament’s Transport and Tourism Committee, Mr Brian Simpson MEP and Mrs Jacqueline Foster MEP. After the conclusion of the day’s programme the Museum will be free to be viewed with a privately arranged and guided tour which includes the permanent display of the Titanic collection. Refreshments and lunch will be provided free of charge to registered delegates.

We therefore look forward to welcoming you to Liverpool and leaving with a better understanding of the value of ISPO and how
easily it can be adopted to meet your Pilotage Services specific circumstances, and at the same time providing a robust framework to continuously improve the performance of your Pilot organisation.
