APIBARRA - Associação dos Pilotos de Barra e Portos, is a non-profit organisation, created in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1995. Pilo ... tage is a mandatory public service, managed by the Port Authority strictly regulated by the Government, related to maritime safety, protection of the environment and port efficiency. The task of the pilots is to assist the captains of vessels in ports and their approaches by bringing them not only knowledge of the local maritime conditions and operational practices but also their daily extensive experience of navigating ships in restricted waters. They optimize thus, in an efficient way, the traffic flow and the operation of port facilities while ensuring the control of risks inherent in sailing ships in sensitive coastal areas. APIBARRA represents about 85 maritime pilots from Portugal but also from CPLP, namely Angola and Brazil. The role of APIBARRA is to facilitate the exchange of information between its members in order to continuously improve the professional and technical proficiency of our members and to work together with all stakeholders related to logistics, specially ports, its players and maritime transport. read more
