A cargo net on the bow would be a bad idea. The bow is were the full force of the wind and the waves crash. Too risky that: 1. You'd fail to grab the net and miss/bounce/fall off into the ocean. Or into the deck of the pilot boat potentially breaking your bones or smashing your head. 2. A crashing wave would wash/knock you off the net into the ocean or into the deck of the pilot boat. 3. You'd land on/in the net poorly and break or dislocate your fingers/wrists/feet/ankles. Which are all common cargo net jump injuries. 4. You'd get tangled and trapped in the net, while getting battered by waves potentially risking broken bones and dislocated joints. No he's doing it right the way. The way he's supposed to and how he's done it many times before, day and night. Onto the side of the boat at the right moment and straight inside the cabin.

@@kevinbacon7514 River Pilots all over the world have been doing it the way shown in the video for over a 100 years and have never changed it. They've never changed it over the last 100 years because despite trying, nobody throughout the entire world, has figured out a better and safer way of doing it. The only other option is using a helicopter winch. Some River Pilot services do use helicopters. However, a helicopter can only be flown and conduct above-ship operations in good weather and calm seas. Hence why River Pilot services which do have a helicopter, only use them in calm weather and calm seas. In rough weather and seas they still have to use the Pilot Boat and methods of boarding and disembarking shown in the video. It is dangerous, and over the years, a small number of River Pilots have died or been badly injured doing it. But it is the safest option. There is no safer method. Despite repeated tries to invent a safer method. They don't use a cargo net on the bow, because using cargo net would be even more dangerous. Watch the video again, and carefully watch it. Watch how hard the waves crash over the bow of the Pilot Boat. Watch just how much the Pilot Boat pitches forward and back and rolls left and right on the waves. Watch just how much it repeatedly suddenly rises and lowers in height on the waves. Watch how much it suddenly drops too far back, or pushes too far forward of the ship's door. In those bad sea conditions, judging and timing precisely when to do a full-on jump into the air into an open-air cargo net, getting battered by waves is a hell of a lot more difficult, risky and dangerous. Than judging and timely precisely when to simply drop down straight into an enclosed, sheltered and safe cabin. Also, bare in mind that River Pilots also have to disembark ships at night, using the same method, as well as during the day. And also have to board ships using the same method again both by day and night. If jumping into a cargo net was safer, they'd already be long doing so, all over the world. They're not because it's not safer for all the reasons I've explained.

To hang somebody over the side of a ship in rough seas is called an execution. We try not to do that. The ship's captain, at the pilot's instruction, was using the ship to shield the pilot boat from the worst part of the seas using speed and course headings from the pilot. If you pay attention, the pilot was hardly stressed at this operation. He's does it all the time. Like it's part of his job or something. A sailor's definition of safety is far different from that of a landlubber. We know what we're doing, thanks.

If you listen to the audio, you hear the pilot asking for a turn to stbd and the officer relaying that request to the bridge. Many moons ago when i was a seafarer in the North Sea, we had to launch our Fast Rescue Boats fairly frequently and the only time you ever saw the FRC come alongside a stationary vessel was in harbour or if it was DEAD flat calm. you want a bit of way on both vessels for steerage and also the cox'n of the small boat needs to be able to work his throttles up and down to maintain position and counter the waves, but still maintain forward motion (he does not want to drop back to neutral) I thought the cox'n did a cracking job in tough conditions. Not convinced that practice would fly in Australia though.

Using an extending boom would actually make things even worse not better. Being further out from the ship, would make the pitching and rolling of the pilot boat on the waves significantly worse. The pilot would also be much more vulnerable extended out from the ship, and the jump on to the pilot boat would be much more difficult. The pilot boat has to come right up next to the side of ship, in order to use the side of ship as shelter from the full force of the waves and get a smoother ride. The ship is supposed to turn itself against the direction of the wind and waves in order to make itself a wind and wave block/shelter for the pilot boat right next to it. That's why the pilot keeps telling the crew to radio up to the bridge to turn the ship starboard(right). For whatever reason, the ship takes 5 minutes to complete that starboard turn wave shelter manoeuvre satisfactorily. After which the ride of the pilot boat suddenly becomes much smoother, and the pilot is finally able to drop down onboard. As soon as the pilot is aboard, the pilot boat immediately drops back and moves out of the ship's shelter and is immediately hit hard by the waves again. Crazy as it looks, it is genuinely the safest possible way to do it, especially in rough seas and weather. There is no safer way. Some pilot boats make it safer by having 1 or 2 deckhands out on the deck. Who are strapped to the deck and help guide the pilot as he/she makes the jump and grab hold of him/her as soon as he/she lands on the deck.

@ابوعمر Some maritime pilot services do use helicopters to winch the pilots onto and off the deck of the ships. However, helicopters can only be flown in good weather and good sea conditions. Especially so when it involves precision flying and winching above ships. So when conditions are bad, they still have to use a pilot boat to embark and disembark as shown in this video. The only people crazy enough to fly a helicopter in bad weather and sea conditions are the military, and even then they only do so if they have to.
