Why It Matters

MED Approval Isn't
Optional — It's the Law

Under SOLAS Regulation V/23 and the EU Marine Equipment Directive, any vessel calling at European, UK, or other SOLAS-ratified ports must carry certified pilot transfer equipment. A non-certified ladder doesn't just fail an inspection — it means port detention, delay costs, and full commercial liability for the ship operator.

⚖️
Regulatory Mandate

SOLAS V/23 requires all pilot transfer arrangements to meet ISO 799-1. For EU-trading vessels, this means the EU Wheelmark — with zero exceptions for flag, ownership, or trading history.

India's First MED Source

Until now, all MED-certified pilot ladders were imported from Europe or the UK at high cost and long lead times. This is India's first domestically certified alternative — same compliance, Indian manufacturing economics.

PSC Inspection Ready

Port State Control inspectors at Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, and Singapore routinely check pilot ladder certifications. The EU Wheelmark gives ship masters, chandlers, and fleet managers zero-risk compliance at any port worldwide.

PSC Compliant
Transparent Pricing

Premium Quality.
Indian Pricing.

We're not competing with non-certified ladders on price — we're competing on compliance. For vessels that need MED approval, the only real question is which certified supplier you can trust.

Standard
Non-Certified Pilot Ladder
₹4,500–5,000
per metre + GST
  • Basic SOLAS construction
  • No EU Wheelmark
  • Not accepted at EU/UK ports
  • PSC detention risk
  • No international certification
MED Certified
MED-Approved Pilot Ladder
₹6,500
per metre + GST
  • EU Wheelmark certified
  • SOLAS V/23 fully compliant
  • EU, UK, US port approved
  • PSC inspection ready
  • Manufactured in India

A 9-metre MED-certified ladder costs ₹58,500 vs ₹40,500–45,000 non-certified. For a vessel earning ₹8–12 lakh per day in freight, the compliance premium is negligible compared to the cost of a single day's port detention.
