Rigging Pilot ladders - Caribbean Jetty Operations

Episode 10 by Ahmed Sati

Before you, you see my third article on pilot boarding arrangements. After my two previous articles

Case Study Video:

Collaboration with BHP, Geobrugg and Wilhelmsen.

"Person over board - all pilot boat crewmembers and pilots should be trained in recovery as realistic as possible. Don’t wait for a real emergency to find out that something doesn’t work as intended!"

We produced this video in 2004.
