Description
Pilot Ladder Safety addresses an operation where correct equipment, rigging, and seamanship are crucial. The book is aimed at pilots, shipmasters, and crew who prepare and inspect pilot ladders, as well as others who will board via the ladder.
The author connects regulations and recommendations to a practical understanding of why the requirements exist. Illustrations and direct maritime language make the book useful also in discussions about faults and necessary improvements in a pilot transfer arrangement.
The compact book can be included in the vessel’s reference library and used for training, inspections, and preparations. Always check current SOLAS requirements, IMO recommendations, and relevant instructions before an operation; a printed technical book does not replace checking the regulations applicable to the vessel.
The publication is in English and published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd. ISBN: 9781849270465.
