A pilot ladder is a highly specialized form of rope ladder, typically used on board cargo vessels [1] for the purposes of embarking and disembarking pilots. The design and construction of the ladders is tightly specified [2] by international regulation under the SOLAS regime. Pilot ladders and other boarding arrangements must be carefully prepared for each operation, with the equipment inspected and verified as safe to use before each boarding takes place. Additional requirements relate to the use of man-ropes, platforms, accommodation ladders, combination ladders and securing methods.[3]
