Engage Marine has announced that it recently awarded the marine pilot transfer services contract by the Port of Townsville.

The transfer of pilots to and from seagoing vessels should not rely solely on mutual trust and good intentions.

On march 24th, 2022, the bulkcarrier BERGE BIMBERI entered Port of Rotterdam via the Eurochannel. The ship had a draft of 17,6 meters and two pilots were flown in by helicopter for this job. Assisted by Faiplay tugs and KRVE linesmen she eventually berthed at EECV bulk terminal in Europoort, Rotterdam.
