Sažetak
Pilot transfer arrangements (PTA) used by maritime pilots to board and disembark ships are marked as critical operations. They are regulated by an interrelated system of regulations, recommendations, industry standards, and procedures prescribed to ensure the compliance and safety of PTA utilization. The standards for pilot transfer arrangements are defined by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulation V/23, guidelines of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Resolution A.1045(27), the International Safety Management (ISM) Code procedure and International Organization for Standardization (ISO), in particular ISO 799:2019 standard, as a non-mandatory recommendation. However, besides the strict legal background and determined set of rules, there are still deficiencies in the required procedures. It is especially visible in terms of the rigging and safe use of the ladder resulting in the violation of safety standards and possibly human health consequences. This paper aims to analyze the discrepancy between the regulations and guidelines regarding the pilot ladder safety at embarking/disembarking activities. It is performed by summarizing the critical points of the relevant documentation and indicating the principal suggestions for improvement. Following the pilots’ best practice and experience, the results of the paper highlight regulatory policy ambiguous patterns that are needed to be clarified and harmonized. There is a need to eliminate non-compliant procedures and arrangements used to contribute to pilot safety as the primary obligation.
