Pilot boat build by Safehaven Marine

This is one common method to board the pilot. And here it is a special boat which is very fast with new technology

Please Consider Leaving Me A COMMENT Or A LIKE Or A Subscription. Thanks Very much for watching my channel. I Really Appreciate It.

I am not a computer savvy. My knowledge in programming and robotics and those sort of things is nil. I get lost in the sea of social media and easily entangle myself in the web. All I have done for the last 25 years or so is to pilot ships through the Panama Canal. However, during the last couple of years I have done my best to catch up with technology, since it has enhanced our possibilities and improved safety in our field. But still, I have to admit that I am way behind the new guys in this important issue.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch’s (MAIB) has published their latest annual report showing that pilot ladders remain a safety issue for workers.

The IMPA Safety Campaign will take place from 16th to 30th May 2025. We encourage all maritime pilots to take part, as your contribution is essential to the success of the campaign!

IMPA has published examples of best practice together with a letter from Capt. Simon Pelletier, President of IMPA.
