In this video we follow along with Capt. Dane of the Palm Beach Harbor Pilots Association on a windy Saturday morning as he brings in a massive bulk carrier cargo ship into the Port of Palm Beach.

No room for error. Also featured in this video is a regular cargo vessel...

Jet propulsion and an intergrated rescue system.
The boat is in a really good shape!
