Mv CHRISTY FROM JETTY ARA maritime Pilot// Pekanbaru @Rawa Rawa pilot

A ship may berth port or starboard side on or bow or stem on. The term “berth” refers to the quay, or wharf, or, pier or jetty where the ship comes alongside, but it may also mean a place in which a vessel is moored or anchored.

Let us start a journey back in time. Back to the black and white films of history. The times have changed, but it is good to know what kind of things have changed and where are the roots of pilotage.

In this video we are trying to show how a ship enters into Mombasa port through a canal and the procedure of berthing.

IMPA has published examples of best practice together with a letter from Capt. Simon Pelletier, President of IMPA.

What a dangerous situation. Never seen that before.

Another accident was reported on YouTube on Feb. 3rd 2020 by akif pradias.
