It’s no news that the world of superyachts carries an aura of luxury, but what happens when this glamour clouds safety norms? A recent report by CHIRP Maritime’s Superyacht Feedback programme underpins this critical concern. Notably, a pilot raised red flags about a non-compliant boarding arrangement on a superyacht. In a distressing state of affairs, the pilot found himself amidst the crew’s apathy, highlighting a blatant disregard for his safety. The dubious boarding arrangement saw the pilot ladder hanging from the deckhead, failing to rest against the ship’s side because of hull belting—an apparent violation of safety standards.
