Photo:BMA Nick Dowden, BMA The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) is targeting pilot transfer safety in its latest Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC). The BMA noted a consistent level of non-compliant boarding arrangements across the in industry from the results of the International Maritime Pilots’ Association (IMPA) Safety Campaign which it has shared with its fleet since 2015. Non-complaint pilot ladders and other boarding arrangements can result in death and injury of pilots. In January 2017 Singapore’s bi-annual safe boarding campaign found some 20% of pilot ladders to be unsafe. The BMA’s inspection campaign will run in the second half of the year and will inspectors be asked to complete a checklist as to the compliance of equipment, and they will also require evidence that the ship has conducted at least one training session to increase crew awareness of correct procedures.
