Pilot & Embarkation Ladder

A pilot ladder, also known as an embarkation ladder, is a type of ladder used by pilots to board or disembark from a ship. It is a specialized ladder designed to provide a safe and stable means of access between a pilot boat and a ship.

The pilot ladder is typically made of lightweight materials such as aluminum or fiberglass, making it easy to handle and transport. It consists of a series of steps or rungs, usually around 80-90 cm apart, which are connected by side ropes or staves. The ladder is usually around 9-10 meters long, allowing it to reach from the pilot boat to the ship's deck.
