BRUSSELS. The new President of the European Maritime Pilots Organisation is Capt. Erik Dalege. The former chairman of the Federal Chamber of Pilots in Hamburg was elected at the EMPO General Assembly in May for a period of three years. Capt. Dalege succeeds Norwegian Stein Inge Dahn, who had held the role from 2013. One of his most important challenges is to „modernise communication channels in European pilotage.“
