Pilot Ladder – Embarkation Ladder with Spreaders – Wooden Hardwood Beech

What Do I Use a Pilot Ladder For?

The pilot ladder is used for the pilot and crews getting in and out the vessel in normal situations. The pilot ladder has a spreader, differential from the embarkation ladder in it's design. The steps of each ladder are made of hard wood, except for the last 4 steps, which are made of rubber. The pilot ladder is a convenient means of transferring personnel into and out of a vessel safely. 

Why Do I Need a Pilot Ladder? 

In December 2010 IMO MSC 88 adopted MSC.308(88), which contains amendments to SOLAS regulation V/23 and IMO resolution A.1045(27) this amendment provides additional recommendation for pilot ladder arrangements and pilot transfer arrangements applicable to all new built vessels and some existing vessels.
