Pilot boat
#Sealife #Seaman

SINGAPORE — One person was taken to hospital after a small boat caught fire off Seraya Buoy, located in the waters off Singapore's south-west coast, on Monday (Sept 4) afternoon.

"Last legislative session, river pilots committed to making African Americans and other minorities aware of the growing number of career opportunities in Louisiana's maritime industry," said river pilot Captain Lee Jackson in a statement.

Moored in the inner bay with engines warm, this 13m pilot boat is ready for sea. Lines slip away off the berth, the skyline slides past her mast, and out through the harbour mouth she opens up. Built by Dookyu Crown, for the water ahead. Looking for a pilot boat or a custom work boat for your waters? Send us a message.
