The American Pilots Association (APA) is one of the oldest trade associations in the United States, serving as the national representative for the piloting profession since its founding in 1884. With over 1,200 state-licensed pilots in 24 coastal states and the Great Lakes, APA members navigate more than 90% of large ocean-going vessels involved in international trade within U.S. waterways. The primary responsibility of these pilots is to ensure the safety of navigation and protect the marine environment in the waters for which they are licensed. The APA exemplifies excellence in piloting, advocating for the profession and enhancing the standards of safety and efficiency in maritime navigation. Generated from the website
