Ensuring Safety for Maritime Pilots: Addressing the Real Risks | SEA VIEWS

In this eye-opening episode of Sea Views, host Julia Gosling speaks with Captain Andrew Moll (Chief Inspector, UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch), Ari Palmers (Senior Maritime Pilot, Netherlands), and Adam Parnell (Director, CHIRP Maritime) to confront the serious dangers faced by maritime pilots — especially during pilot transfers, where fatality rates remain alarmingly high.

The discussion highlights the urgent need for compliance with international safety standards, improved training and education, and a cultural shift across the industry. From investigative insights to practical solutions and the role of prosecutions, this is a must-listen for anyone working in or around maritime operations.
