New industry guidance on pilot transfer arrangements published
In an effort to improve the safety of pilots and seafarers, The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and the International Maritime Pilots’ Association (IMPA), in collaboration with a number of industry organisations including BIMCO, have released the third edition of the Shipping Industry Guidance on Pilot Transfer Arrangements.
为加强保障引航员和船员的安全，国际航运商会（ICS）、国际海事引航员协会（IMPA）与包括BIMCO在内的若干行业组织联合推出了第3版《关于引航员登离船装置的航运业指南》。
The guidance is intended to remind seafarers and companies of the vital importance of adhering to the rules and established procedures concerning the provision of safe boarding arrangements for pilots and the third edition includes a new section outlining the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) guidance on combination embarkation platform arrangements.
该指南旨在提醒船员和公司，遵守引航员登离船安全装置的规则和既定程序至关紧要，第3版指南新增一章节，概述国际海事组织（IMO）就引航员组合式登船平台装置的指南。
Pilots who have climbed a safe, well rigged pilot ladder and attended by an officer and a deck party will be in the right frame of mind to give their best attention to the safety of the ship.
如果引航员能够在1名副船长和1名甲板人员的陪同下攀爬安全、装备完好的引航梯，将有利于他保持良好心态，进而集中精力关注船舶安全。
Safe means of access is a pilot's right and they can decline to board ships with unsafe arrangements. Pilots are also entitled to report defects in boarding arrangements to port state control authorities, which could lead to a full port state control inspection with the risk of delay and financial penalties.
引航员有权安全登离船舶，有权拒绝登上未配备安全装置的船舶，也有权向港口国当局报告登船装置的缺陷，港口国当局从而将对船舶进行全面检查，这可能使船舶面临延误和被罚款的风险。
