This is how marine pilots go to work (found on Twitter, by Capt. Ed Enos)

Most pilot embarkations and disembarkations around the world, are still carried out using a traditional pilot ladder, consisting of wooden steps supported and secured by side ropes.

Tuesday, October 1st is the start date of the latest International Maritime Pilot Association's annual Safety Campaign.

Previous campaigns by the association have consistently shown results of pilot ladder deficiencies around the 20% mark.

There are many things in both our everyday and professional lives which we take for granted and never question the origins of, an example of this might be the IMPA recommended ‘pilot mark or pilot line’, which is sometimes seen on the side of vessels indicating where a vessels freeboard exceeds 9 metres.

The US Coast Guard "Safety Alert 04-22" has been released. The alert addresses the importance of verifying the correct arrangement of handholds in embarkation gate arrangements aboard merchant vessels.

🚤 Safety at sea starts with preparation. Our Marine Operations team recently carried out a live Man Overboard (MOB) drill using the new recovery platform on our pilot boat, Trais Leopard. Regular training exercises help ensure our equipment, procedures and crews are ready to respond effectively in an emergency. These drills are a vital part of maintaining the highest standards of marine safety and operational readiness. ⚓ Prepared. Practised. Ready to respond. #MarineSafety #ManOverboard...
