Vessels arriving or leaving with a freeboard exceeding 5m must use the accommodation ladder in conjunction with the pilot ladder. The bottom of the ladder should be 1m above the water. In order to avoid possible delays in obtaining a pilot, vessels should give as much advanced notice as possible of ETA/ETD.
