Do you know how difficult to board a ship through pilot ladder.

It remains a sad fact that accidents and near misses continue to occur during pilot transfers with frightening regularity. Most of these fortunately do not result in injury, and a surprisingly high number of them are not even recognised for what they are.

Surveys into pilot ladder safety consistently reveal that unacceptably high numbers of pilot transfer arrangements are not compliant with the regulations.

Other countries, other morals. What do you think about the work of the ship's crew? Do they work carefully in accordance with the regulations?
