Pilot transfer looks normal until the ship and pilot boat stop moving together. One late step turns the gap into a crush zone. ⚓ Always check swell, ladder condition, and timing before stepping down. ✅

My typical morning as a pilot starts early. I wake up at 03:50 when our pilot coordinator informs me that a car will pick me up at 04:20. Due to a shortage of pilots in Vlissingen, I am given a ride to Vlissingen with a colleague. We arrive at 05:15. My colleague's ship is scheduled to arrive at Vlissingen Roads at 05:30, while mine is set to arrive at 06:00. Normally, if you are already in Vlissingen waiting, you would receive a 20-minute notice to proceed to the pilot boat. The pilot coordinator in Vlissingen tells me that I have to proceed to the "Wulpen" pilot boat. There are usually two Belgian pilot boats and one Dutch pilot boat available. I take a short walk from our pilot station to the "loodsensteiger," or pilot jetty, which is just down the stairs and across the street. When I board the pilot boat, I report to the skipper by providing my name, the ship I am assigned to, and its origin (North or West). I also inform him of the "sein," or signal, which in this case is "2A," indicating a category 2 vessel (under 150 meters in length overall) bound for Antwerp. The "Wulpen" takes me out to the vessel, where I climb on board. My colleague, who is the sea pilot, hands over the details of the ship along with relevant information regarding traffic. Off we go! I docked in Zandvliet Lock at 09:15 and returned home by 10:00. I am available again at 21:00, which today translates to an immediate phone call for another vessel.
