It has been exactly one year ago that a pilot from Sandy Hook (New York), Dennis Sherwood, died in the line of duty while attempting to board the container vessel Maersk Kensington.
What has happened since then? Has safety been improved for the pilots?

UKMPA has released a notice to their members today regarding the so-called non compliant trapdoors. Vessels have been rejected entrance, talks have started with different shipping companies.

Like threading a needle. Watch as the skilled captain of the Pacific Chinook comes alongside of her sister ship the Pacific Pathfinder to transfer some crew. Watch how precise he can maneuver the boat with her water jets.

The CMA CGM JACQUES SAADE, our new flagship, is the first of a series of nine sister ships, a homogeneous LNG-powered fleet.
An innovation-packed feat, a pioneering choice that aims at preserving air quality.
The result of 7 years of research and development.
More than a flagship, a vision.
