The total number of marine pilots worldwide is represented by the International Maritime Pilots' Association (IMPA), which includes over 8,200 pilot members from 53 countries. These pilots are crucial for ensuring the safe navigation of ships into and out of ports and through challenging waterways.
Marine pilots are highly trained professionals responsible for guiding ships safely, often through complex and congested areas. The importance of their role is highlighted by the various regulations and standards they must adhere to, including those set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, which ensure that pilot transfer arrangements and pilot ladders are maintained to high safety standards.
These professionals face significant risks during pilot transfers, primarily involving the use of pilot ladders. Key risks include slipping and falling, improper maintenance of ladders, faulty rigging, and adverse environmental conditions. Compliance with SOLAS regulations and continuous training are vital for minimizing these risks.
