AMPI has put forward a position paper addressing concerns regarding engine power limiters installed on ships to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in pilotage waters. This paper emphasises the importance of immediate access to full engine power for safe navigation and compliance with international regulations. Recommendations include updating pilot cards with limiter status, training crew on limiter overrides, and enhancing pre-arrival information forms for port authorities. Failure to address these issues may result in compromised maneuverability and potential safety hazards. This issue was also addressed in our most recent edition of Safe Passage with an insightful article by Nic Gardner and Matthew Williams.
