Incident on 31 January 2020 : A rope of the pilot ladder breaks. Pilot could still reach the vessel

Video: Climbing the pilot ladder, the pilot is hit by Pilot Boat.

Ramsgate RNLI crews were called in to help a pilot boat beached at Broadstairs last night (December 7).

We do not put videos of accidents on our website out of voyeurism. We would like to point out that the work of a pilot is always dangerous, especially when embarking and disembarking!
These incidents should be a warning. It can hit anyone out of carelessness.
Dear pilots, please always be mindful and always think of your safety!

"Analysis of reports indicates that pilot ladders (Pilot Transfer Arrangements, or PTAs) and
intentional deviations from safety procedures remain the main causes of near misses..."

What a beautiful manoeuvre! Arrival at Hamburg “Eurogate berth 6”, portside!
