Pilot Boarding - Accidentology (2001- 2021) - French Maritime Pilots' Association


published on 10 May 2023 885 -

Found on YouTube. Created by "Fédération Française des Pilotes Maritimes". Originally published on 2023-05-09.
The accidentology survey conducted in France between 2001 and 2021 found that pilots face significant risks during transfer phases while embarking or disembarking from ships that they are required to serve. To ensure their safety and improve transfers, pilots develop specific procedures and safety protocols and equip themselves with the necessary gear. These safety measures are presented in the following film that is intended for both novice and experienced pilot boat drivers and pilots, with the aim of ensuring that everyone participates in the safest transfer possible.
The accidentology study has also revealed the importance of ships providing Pilot Transfer Arrangements that meet current safety standards and that are in accordance with international regulations and guidelines. Following these regulations can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and ensure the safety of pilots, vessels, as well as respecting a timely arrival / departure schedule.

by New Zealand Maritime Pilot's Association - published on 6 November 2020

New guidance for PBAs with trapdoors. Released 4.11.2020 at NZMPA Conference in Dunedin, NZ. Distinct difference to suggestions in many other countries, is that we challenge operators who have the ladder suspended from the accommodation ladder (gangway) and not secured to the ship. SOLAS states that pilot ladder shall be secured to the ship, and securing strongpoints, shackles and ropes shall be as strong as the sideropes.
