M/V PILOT 68 (CHEOY LEE shipyards 17m Self-righting Pilot Boat)

Launching pilotvessel for Port of Milford Haven

Port Phillip Sea Pilots now have their new website online. The result is impressive. Well done!

P&O Maritime Logistics has equipped all pilots in Jebel Ali with new Pilot Portable Units (PPUs). The PPUs are made by TRENZ and supported by Wärtsilä software.

In early December, just as I was starting to get into ship spotting, I saw a couple of vessels headed up river towards Philly. One of them, the Cielo di Iyo met with the harbor pilot right as I had my drone up. I was able to capture the Pilot coming to meet the vessel and CLIMBING the ladder to get on board just before she passed beneath the Walt Whitman Bridge.
