Perfect Manoeuvre. Maybe it is Kieler Förde or Travemünde but in an any case the Baltic Sea. Greetings to NOK II !

PILOT LAUNCH SCAPA PATHFINDER IN ACTION...4/5/2020

Pilots are expert ship handlers who possess detailed knowledge of local waterways. They are transported by high speed "Pilot Boat" or helicopter from shore to an inbound ship and from an outbound ship back ashore. Most ports have compulsory pilotage.

Darwin Port has achieved its International Standard for Maritime Pilot Organisations (ISPO) certification for its commitment to safety and quality management systems. ISPO is a standard of best practice for pilots and pilot organisations, which focuses on improving safety and quality.

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
