Maritime Pilotage Association of Canada

The Maritime Pilotage Association of Canada is an organization that oversees the training, certification, and coordination of maritime pilots across Canadian ports. Maritime pilots are specialized navigators who assist large ships in safely entering and leaving harbors, navigating challenging waters, and avoiding hazards. The association ensures that qualified pilots are available, maintain high standards, and work efficiently to enhance safety and security in Canadian maritime transport. By coordinating pilotage services, the organization helps facilitate smooth maritime operations and protects ports, ships, crew, and the environment.
