Maritime Pilot Safety and reducing the risk in pilot transfer operations
Manage episode 367652272 series 3489174
“The problem with statistics is that it’s a bummer when it’s you!”
― Arie Palmers, Maritime Pilot
This is an in-depth discussion of the risks involved in maritime pilot transfers; an interesting job but with a risky commute to work.
Sadly there have been 7 deaths associated with maritime pilot transfer operations already in the first 6 months of 2023.
What are the current international regulations for ships and what are the barriers to reducing the risk? How can individuals, the industry, ports and ship builders make changes to save lives in the future?
Guests:
Andrew Moll, OBE, Chief Inspector at Marine Accident Investigation Branch
Arie Palmers, Senior Maritime Pilot working in the Netherlands
Adam Parnell, Director at CHIRP Maritime Charitable Trust
