The number of videos demonstrating poor pilot launch risk management procedures is amazing.
For example;
Pilot not wearing a self inflating (hydrostatic release) life jacket
No pilot tethering system to pilot vessel sail'' track using a harness fitted to the life jacket
No deckhand attendance to the P/V point of transfer
No deckhand testing of security of pilot land before the pilot commences embarkation/disembarkation

The fact that pilot organisations post these videos on your new site appears to indicate they have no awareness of modern WH&S requirements and systems

In this one you will see a couple different times when the Pilot boards or leaves the ship and how they do it. It is always interesting to watch even though I have seen it many time. Hope you all enjoy the video and hope to see you in the comments as always.

Opinion New guidance for PBAs with trapdoors. Released 4.11.2020 by NZMPA

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.
