I was born and raised in an active port city. These guys are held in high regard. It's a fascinating and difficult job.

Great work!! I’m a 3/M and always impressed by the skill and knowledge of Pilots.

If anyone doesn't think these Pilots are not so, soo important in knowing Ports ( tidal flow, currents) and just how harbor is layed out. The poor Captain can't remember every port he kr she goes into, even though today its more and more like ferry boats or cruise ships going back and forth to same cargo delivery or load. These Pilots are so vital and necessary especially on the biggest container ships. Think about that Ladder climbing in darkness and a ruff sea state. My hat is off to these professional Pilots.

The ship Capt knows it all also but a pilot is required at all US Ports

Very informative. Often wondered who, how etc. Thanks for posting and looking forward to others.👍

Great video Tyler! Definitely a cool and unique experience with the Palm Beach Pilots!

Interesting to see the pilot operating the controls of the second ship (on the bridge wing) rather than giving commands to the ship's helmsman.

No suit and tie here at this working port. Between the tropical climate and sometimes up to 10 ships per day per pilot, we’d be in disarray wearing anything impractical for climbing.

No mistakes job.

Just wondering, which is easier to dock, cruise ships or cargo ships ? Or are they about the same?

@TheTylerShow

Ай бұрын

Good question! Pilots are hands off for cruise ship dockings and more or less just watch the Capt. or Officer on watch do the docking where on Cargo ships the pilot is more hands on with them working with the tugs as a lot of cargo ships have less than ideal propultion which forces them to use a tug. I have a video coming out in two weeks that shows a cruise ship docking from the pilots POV. 🤙

The pilot has the local knowledge of the area and the workings of the port… the master can overrule the pilot at anytime if he feels the pilot is doing something he doesn’t like. I think there’s only a couple of places in the world where the pilot takes control and isn’t there in an advisory capacity.. the Panama Canal is one of these areas. ⚓️🦈. My little village is where John Cabot left in 1497 to discover the Americas and it was a man from Pill, Somerset who piloted them down the river Avon from Bristol to the sea.. Bristol likes to claim the Matthew left from Bristol but in truth, she probably left from Hung road in Pill as the river wasn’t navigable on one tide back then.. pilot was James Ray and up until a few years back we still had a Bristol Pilot working who was direct decent of James Ray!

The local pilot knows the local water, the currents, the prevailing winds, the effects of tide, then hazards, the shallows, the local tug operators and much more. It's a highly complex act to maneuver a ship that big through a series of narrow channels without an incident. I'm not a harbor pilot but I live in an active port city and know several of them personally. It is an admirable job. Not for everyone.

I would rather know why they keep running into bridges?

Look at me... I'm the captain now

I’m surprised the ship’s master let the pilot work the thrusters like that.

@@davidabbitt1744 yeah, I know. I’ve worked with ships for over 20 years and I’ve been onboard with a pilot docking, undocking and shifting and I was under the impression from what I saw that the Captain usually worked the thrusters. I know if I were a pilot, I would prefer handling the thrusters as opposed to ordering someone else to do it. Seems like it would be equivalent to playoff a video game but someone else is holding the controller.

In some places it's done by helicopter.

If there were two tugboats and the captain fix the electrical problem before their trip, we wouldn’t have the key bridge accident.
