"With over 20 years experience, having spent a successful career at sea on Container ships, Andy came ashore to the Humber and became a Tug Skipper in 2007. In 2012, he became a Marine Pilot with ABP. Throughout his pilotage career, Andy has been passionate about pilot safety. He is heavily involved in the Health and Safety of his pilot colleagues. His biggest driver is the belief that education of ships personnel in Pilot Transfer Arrangements is the largest way in which we can make the boarding and landing of pilots safer, and ultimately save lives."
