Absolutely not , when a pilot step/ jumps off the ladder onto the launch you have to be free and clear of the ship, in rough weather the launch may be rising and falling 5 to 8 metres alongside the ship being pulled back by an arrest cable would stop you transferring onto the launch at the crest of a wave then riding it down into the trough .

The crew on the larger vessel should have thrown a life belt over, and possible a smoke generator float, (1) To mark the spot (2) For the man overboard to hang onto. There were no man ropes. The rescue ladder should have been lowered sooner. Ive never been in favour of bringing a casualty onboard over the stern, due to swell and prop danger There should be a rescue ladder on both sides, and a hoist over the top of the wheelhouse that can be deployed on either side, pilot cutters have a tendency to roll heavenly in most weathers when stationary, (Much like hauling a net in on a Side Winder trawler) Useing the leeward side you use the role to your advantage. In fact I have hauled a man inboard over the side, without a ladder, using the role of the cutter, without the assistance of a hoist.

All ships over a certain size are required to have a pilot on board for entering and leaving the river. The ship may have a captain who knows his ship but he is unlikely to know the river which is where the pilot comes in to safely navigate the shallow water and strong tides and berth and unberth the ship . I also issue instructions / ask the tugs to carry out whatever manoeuvres are needed to safely get the ship in and out .
