Someone asked a question about nomenclature the other day and it may have been on FB. The name I know is “shipside door,” and it appears to be used in cases that the pilot’s ladder would exceed 9 meters (29.5′).
In that case the pilot would enter/depart the ship via the shipside door.
Sometimes a combo of companionway and pilot’s ladder is used.
Other times it’s the shipside door and a ladder as below and
below.
Here’s one more batch.
Note the ladder above and the winch reel below.
All photos and any errors, WVD, who hopes this adds some nomenclature.
