On board, every little thing matters: the correct installation of the ladder, serviceable rails, sufficient height of the fastening and the absence of obstacles – all this guarantees safety during the boarding and disembarking of the pilot.
Responsibilities of the responsible officer:
1️⃣ Know the rules for installing the ladder.
2️⃣ Establish communication with the bridge.
3️⃣ Monitor the boarding process.
4️⃣ Check the correct fastening of the ladder.
5️⃣ Test the rescue equipment.
6️⃣ Ensure the safe passage of the pilot to the bridge along the illuminated route.
❗️Remember: a properly organized pilot transfer is not only a requirement, but also a guarantee of the safety of the crew and the vessel
