No swell. Correct. But that is best safety in sea waves when vessel underway and able make a good lee for the pilot boat.

You can board in this manner only when the ship is at anchor and the sea is calm without any swell.

Video Pilot rejects unsafe pilot ladder in Izmir, Turkey

published on 18 May 2022

As a rule, every pilot has the right to refuse an unsafe ladder. Safety first! A brave pilot is not the one who uses an unsafe ladder, but the one who, in case of doubt, asks for a different ladder or a different setting.
Unfortunately, too many pilots climb a dubious ladder when in doubt.

We have filmed quite a few vessels coming in and out of Holyhead port now, and the Viking Cruise Line ships are, without doubt, some of the most classy and good looking vessels about. Lovely...
