Notice by Marine-Pilots.com:
This was one of the rare videos that want to show how to prepare a pilot ladder properly and safely for the pilot and according to all rules. But this video was not ok too.

If you have better videos that are suitable for learning, please send us the links or videos. We will publish them here. Thanks a lot.
