Pilotage Waters Risk Assessments - to improve safety for:
Each pilotage area is unique. And as different as each pilotage area can be one from the other, so too the individual pilots - not to mention the particular bridge team with which they are working or the vessel they are on. This multifaceted interface (pilot, crew, vessel, port) makes one-size-fits-all judgements on risk in pilotage waters unsuitable. Notwithstanding the generally high standard of pilotage services worldwide, accidents continue to happen; improvements can still be made.
Accident reports reveal that almost all human factor related accidents in pilotage waters are due to a breakdown in communication and team interaction. Therefore, our approach is not to gauge the technical knowledge of a particular pilot. In order to better qualify risk, on-board pilotage risk assessments (SAFECON©) have been developed by our team in order to qualify, among others: |
|
* Bridge team/pilot interaction
* Bridge team pilotage procedures * MPX documents * Master/pilot exchange |
* Vessel specific risk for pilotage waters
* Level of bridge team engagement * Effectiveness of communication * Risks associated with a particular pilotage area or port |
|
SafeShip associates have developed a unique, in-house pilotage risk assessment tool that, combined with their in-depth pilotage experience, can help qualify the various risks in pilotage waters.
|
With associates in Australia, the United
Kingdom and North America, our team can arrange one or more SAFECON© assessments when and where our clients feel the need. |
Whether a particular port or pilotage area, or on a specific vessel or fleet of vessels, we can provide cost effective feedback that will help you assess risk while under pilotage and hence improve safety.
