Training video IV on the correct behaviour in case of man overboard

At the 27 October 2020 meeting, the Board reviewed the SHPA grant request for a pilot ladder climbing training program.

The study focuses on maritime pilotage in seven European countries and analyzes the level of job satisfaction and its predictors.

Training video III on the correct behaviour in case of man overboard

This safety video examines the safe set-up of pilot ladders and details the safety checks that should be carried out before using a plot ladder to ensure a safe boat transfer.

Big thanks to Geraldton Port Authority for allowing Bill and I to go out in one of their pilot boats and board a ship. It was a beautiful day for it.
