ISPO is a standard that can be used by maritime pilot organizations, providing transparency to all relevant stakeholders, ensuring a consistent minimum level of safety and quality, and supporting a continuous, ongoing process of improvement.
ISPO certification ensures that an independent third party assesses the organization's quality and safety management system against the ISPO Code.
