Vessels are required by law to have a trained maritime pilot on board responsible for safely navigating the ship to its desired destination.

The American Maritime Pilot has a special and important job bringing ships into port safely. In the history of pilots Robert Smalls stands out as one of the most heroic and able pilots in American History.

On November the 8th 2020 container feeder vessel Munksund collided with the RoRo cargo vessel Balticborg.
