Last year, AMSA (Australia Maritime Safety Agent) issued a notice in September, and Hong Kong Marine Department issued a notice in October regarding a fall accident from a ladder. Aloft work using ladders or boarding and disembarking of pilots and related persons by pilot ladders are carried out on board, but all of this work may lead to major accidents.
