Wouldn‘t it be nice if Germany would show so much interest in exploring the new possibilities of digitalization...
Vessel could get a spot in the lock at Kiel Canal assigned well in advance and adjust their ETA instead of racing towards the reporting point with full speed just to go drifting afterwards when no lock is available.
(Not to mention how much more efficient the planning of pilots on the station could be)

Video Day in the life of a Marine Pilot on the Humber, UK

published on 7 November 2025

Brief snapshot of a day in the life of a Humber marine Pilot.
This was filmed a few years ago, 2019 I think.
Some standards and best practices have changed since then, for instance I would not have my bag on my back while using the pilot ladder now, I would send it down using a heaving line.
