Pilot embarking and disembarking

Experiences of a Pilot: The port's chief pilot talks about his work, "what we do is not well known in the city", and about the risk they run, "on a bad day we can get scared", he says.

At the end of the disembarking procedure, the pilot jumps on ropes onto the pilot boat. Is this often seen practice safe? Can the pilot resolve the situation better?

IMPA has published examples of best practice together with a letter from Capt. Simon Pelletier, President of IMPA.
