What does a pilot do? Job description

Drydocking or undocking is always a difficult task, particularly with a “dead” vessel (no power/propulsion) and the wind blowing on the ship's side.

The All India Maritime Pilots' Association has released its new journal for April

"Mariners may receive financial compensation for current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, present and future lost wages, and pain and suffering."

Spotted some Pilot Boats in the Port of Auckland, New Zealand and Melbourne & Fremantle Australia (Port codes: Auckland:NZ AKL ; Melbourne:AU MEL ; Fremantle:AU FRE).

Everytime a cruiseship leaves a port a pilot from the port gets the ship out to sea then the pilot jumps off and thr ship Captain takes over. #susieandreginaadventures #cruiseline #travel #royalcaribbean #cruising #cruiseship #bonusqueens #adventureoftheseas #pilot #pilotboat #sealife #traveling #travelvlog #travelvloggers #cruiselife #cruiser #cruiseaddict #cruisevlog #cruiseTips #firstTimeCruiser #cruiseVacation #oceanadventure #oceanadventures #cruiseShipExcursions #oceanlife #islandlife

Qualified pilots are usually employed by the local port or maritime administration, and provide their services to ships for a fee, calculated in relation to the ship’s tonnage, draught or other criteria.
