Pilot Ladder & Embarkation Ladder

  • Construction:
    • Side ropes are secured with manila twine or marline, and each step is anchored with a wooden or plastic chock for stability.
    • The last four steps, made of rubber, are designed to withstand the potential squeezing between the ship’s side and pilot boat.
  • Spreader Steps:
    • To prevent twisting, pilot ladders include spreader steps with a minimum length of 180 cm.
    • The first spreader is positioned as the 5th step from the bottom, with additional spreaders placed at every 8th step.

These ladders ensure a safe, anti-slip surface due to the grooves on each wooden step, designed to provide grip in wet or unstable conditions.

Embarkation Ladder Features:

Embarkation ladders are similar in design to pilot ladders, made with durable hardwood steps and last four steps in rubber and polypropylene or manila rope.
