Pilot boats & ship boarding in rough weather

  • We we’re out on sea trials with the two newly launched Interceptor 48 pilot boats when the Port of Cork pilot boat ‘Failte’ passed by to undertake a pilot transfer from an outbound ship. It was a nice opportunity to capture some cool video of the action as the boats ran alongside before the ship turned to create a lee for the pilot to disembark. Although the seas weren’t very big, it was blowing hard at the time with gusts of over 50kts recorded at Roches PT lighthouse as we passed.

    Having worked for the Humber pilot service 72/73 I can relate to boarding and taking off pilots in atrocious weather,more so when it was wind over tide at the mouth of the river.Once or twice pilots had to go with the ship because it was unsafe to go alongside,no helicopters in those days.Roly 🇬🇧

      I work in Rotterdam but never been a captain, pilot or anything but have been a shipping agent as in the agent for the companies that own the vessels. Every port of call Id go on board asap, but most of the time just after berthing. Occasionally though, I'd be on a pilot one too to board earlier. Thankfully the times it was windy, she was already sailing behind a dam breaking the waves.
      But when I climbed those ladders, my sick mind always had to think about:: If i would fall or let go, I would be sucked so much under it, and those speeds of the vessel still are so fast compared to even thinking about swimming to catch up and be rescued ) NL

    The Pilots are amazing. The skill set, piloting great ships in and out of port, and getting on and off the ship! In rough weather what they accomplish is breathtaking. I don't know what they get paid but they earn every penny. Love and respect from pdx. 🌹

    There is maximum of 10% of survival rate if you miss the deck or are swiped off the ladders. In 5 seconds you are sucked into propeller with utmost certainty. Especially in a ship where back if lifted like that and propeller(s) is almost surface piercing.

    On boat to ship Pilot transfers: This is the absolute stupidest primitive thing, I've ever seen. They invented braces and hoists, decades ago. You put on the brace jacket, and attach it to a quick release hoist or pulley lift, that lowers or raises up, the Pilot. Sometimes it's worth it, to break old stupid traditions. Especially where the loss of life, is possible. If this is a rite of passage, it's idiotic.
