Shipping Australia is delighted to welcome Poseidon Sea Pilots as our newest corporate associate member.
Poseidon, a fully-owned subsidiary of the AMS Group, was recently awarded a new ten-year pilotage agreement at the Port of Brisbane.
Chair of AMS Group and Poseidon Sea Pilots, John Sugarman said they had established a very strong management team with unparalleled pilotage knowledge, experience and proficiency.
“AMS Group has been a global leader in providing high quality, innovative and integrated cost-effective solutions for maritime services for two decades,” Mr Sugarman said.
“Amalgamating our high-tech safety systems with cutting-edge pilotage systems was a natural extension for our business and we believe we are the first such organisation in the world.
“At Poseidon, we’re looking forward to welcoming more than 50 new staff who will have the privilege of working together to usher a new era of pilotage into the maritime industry. It’s an exciting time for AMS Group and Poseidon Sea Pilots.”
“Members of our management team have spent the last six years working, at a global level, with ports, pilotage organisations and other safety critical industries such as the airlines. With this experience, they have developed safety, training and operational systems for pilotage that are truly cutting-edge and based on proven success. SAL members can look forward to benefiting from the efficiencies imbedded in our systems”.
Melwyn Noronha, chief executive officer at Shipping Australia, was pleased to welcome the pilotage company as a new member.
“It’s great to have Poseidon Sea Pilots aboard! They bring additional skills, expert insight and navigation experience to Shipping Australia, which will be of benefit to our members. Pilotage is an interesting and evolving function of maritime operations that has, for decades, enabled ships to undertake safe passage”, Noronha commented.
