Watch our team undertake a Pilot Ladder Assessment! Developed by our Manager Port Operations, Leon Strydom, the Pilot Ladder Assessment at our Outer Harbor workshop provides a safe, hands-on way for our team to build confidence and experience climbing a Pilot ladder before boarding a vessel. For our Marine Pilots, the assessment forms part of their pre-employment screening process. For others, it provides a valuable performance assessment, overseen and signed off by our Safety and Marine Service
