A very interesting letter from our Vice-President David Williamson came in, dealing with "Criminalisation of Maritime Pilots", Training Standards of Pilots in the UK or better said how international training standards are ignored, the new "blame culture" and consequently insurance matters and finally the question, why do government agencies not react. If you do not read this article, you surely miss something.
