Stakeholders<br />
Seafarers<br />
Possible<br />
Causes<br />
Ladder incorrectly rigged. Misjudged<br />
approach or loss of situational awareness<br />
in poor visibility/night or weather/sea<br />
conditions, aided by radar or floodlighting<br />
failure. L/Master does not appreciate<br />
effects of cross swell or wake/wash from<br />
own approach or passing vessel and<br />
comes off vessel. Inexperienced<br />
L/Master. Best lee not made or speed<br />
inappropriate for conditions and ship does<br />
not achieve the requested heading<br />
(through getting into irons or<br />
misjudgement of helm and engine speed<br />
required to affect turn) or alters<br />
speed/course substantially during the<br />
launches approach. Steering or<br />
propulsive failure on launch. Seasickness<br />
or fatigue impairs judgment of<br />
launchmaster. L/Master misjudges effects<br />
of interaction between vessels causing<br />
heavy landing which knocks pilot off his<br />
feet. Pilot misjudges timing of transfer<br />
to/from launch in adverse sea conditions.<br />
Pilot not secured during transfer to<br />
foredeck or the tether parts. Pilot<br />
disconnects too early and does not<br />
maintain a handgrip when on foredeck.<br />
Pilot launch comes away from ships side<br />
through adverse sea conditions or launch<br />
master misjudgement. Pilot ladder parts<br />
through becoming caught under launch<br />
belting during rise and fall of launch<br />
(ladder may be in poor condition).<br />
Consequence Descriptions<br />
Most Likely<br />
(ML)<br />
Pilot misjudges<br />
transfer from launch to<br />
or from ladder resulting<br />
in minor injury<br />
(strain/sprain). Pilot<br />
trips and falls<br />
overboard or is<br />
knocked off his feet<br />
and falls overboard.<br />
Worst Credible<br />
(WC)<br />
Pilot falls into water or<br />
back onto launch<br />
during transfer<br />
operation with potential<br />
for severe injury<br />
(unconsciousness,<br />
back injury, crushing,<br />
laceration and<br />
fractures) or fatality.<br />

Remarks<br />
Pilots are required to conform to STCW-<br />
95 medical requirements for seafarers.<br />
Historically Wellington pilots safety<br />
record has been good. Lighter<br />
displacement pilot launches are in use<br />
which provide a less stable platform<br />
than those previously in service but<br />
techniques are used to pin launch<br />
alongside during transfers. Pilots are<br />
trained to adopt best lee during transfers<br />
and personally arrange this rather than<br />
leave it to other party. Pilots wear LSA<br />
at all times in transfer. Hazard may also<br />
apply to official passengers such as<br />
MAF personnel boarding special ships -<br />
transfer is always on basis of prior<br />
safety briefing and utmost safety but risk<br />
still applies.
