Australian Pilot Disembarking Ship Using Pilot Ladder With Man Ropes

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.
