A pilot is a mariner who manoeuvres ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths, and completes the berthing / unberthing operation of the ships by controlling the ship's manoeuvrability directly and the tugs and shore linesmen through a radio. Pilots are expert shiphandlers who possess detailed knowledge of local waterways. They are transported by high speed pilot boats or helicopter from shore to an inbound ship and from an outbound ship back ashore. Most ports have compulsory pilotage.
Legally, the master has full responsibility for safe navigation of his vessel, even if a pilot is on board. If he has clear grounds that the pilot may jeopardise the safety of navigation, he can relieve him from his duties and ask for another pilot or, if not compulsory to have a pilot on board, navigate the vessel without one. Only in transit of the Panama Canal does the pilot have the full responsibility for the navigation of the vessel.
In English law, Section 742 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 defines a pilot as "any person not belonging to a ship who has the conduct thereof." In other words, someone other than a member of the crew who has control over the speed, direction, and movement of the ship. The current United Kingdom legislation governing pilotage is the Pilotage Act 1987.
Join us as we delve into the simulation training that's helping North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP) marine pilots to remain at the top of their game, even from over 950 kilometres away from their home ports.
Experience how NQBP's pilots, terminal operators, and tug masters push their limits at the Queensland Government's Smartship Australia facility using virtually recreated ports of Mackay and Hay Point.
The two-day simulations bring to life the berthing of virtual vessels up to 300 metres in length in all types of weather conditions and loading capacities.

A Day in the Life of a Marine Pilot
As an island nation, over 98% of Australia’s trade moves through ports. At the heart of the trade supply chain are the North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP) marine pilots.
These highly skilled maritime professionals make sure the vessels carrying goods through our ports travel safely and efficiently.
Take a look at a day in the life of an NQBP marine pilot at one of Queensland’s multi-commodity ports, the Port of Mackay.

Docking a Mega Ship -- How Marine Pilot Manoeuvres a Ship in Port?
#dockingship #marinepilot
Docking a Mega ship in a busy port requires an experienced marine pilot to ensure safe ship docking operation. This video is an excellent overview of how marine pilot manoeuvres a ship into the port. Manoeuvring is an operation during which a vessel enters or exits coastal waters of a country, crosses several ships on the way, and proceeds towards or departs from a berth or jetty of a port.
Shot By an experienced marine pilot Syatibi Azhari, who assisted MSC Ambra, one of the world's longest ship (400m), to dock safely in its assigned jetty in the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) - Malaysia
The marine pilot of the ship makes an effective contribution towards safe navigation in confined waters and the approaching port, of which, they have an up to date local knowled...

Pilot boats & ship boarding in rough weather
We we’re out on sea trials with the two newly launched Interceptor 48 pilot boats when the Port of Cork pilot boat ‘Failte’ passed by to undertake a pilot transfer from an outbound ship. It was a nice opportunity to capture some cool video of the action as the boats ran alongside before the ship turned to create a lee for the pilot to disembark. Although the seas weren’t very big, it was blowing hard at the time with gusts of over 50kts recorded at Roches PT lighthouse as we passed.

GACC program puts spotlight on Taiwan’s first female maritime pilot|Taiwan News
As Taiwan’s first female maritime pilot, Huang Chao-ling battles wind and waves every day as she guides ships safely into port. Her profession is high-risk and ultra-specialized, requiring years of experience at sea. Huang’s remarkable career is featured in Episode 50 of "The Soul of the Craftsman," a video series produced by the General Association of Chinese Culture.
As strong winds blow and the rope ladder sways, maritime pilot Huang Chao-ling clambers up the ship, so that she can guide it into port. In the harsh elements, getting on and off the boat can be fraught with danger.

I remember this one time, near South Africa. We encountered waves 20 to 30 meters high. I feared they would break the ship. You’ve got no choice but to overcome such challenges, because you’re all alone out there.
From far across the ocean, a massive ship enters port, fully loaded with crew and cargo. The moment of a ship’s arrival is critical, requiring a pilot familiar with the port. A pilot’s job is physically taxing, and it demands a good eye for radar, GPS, tides, and seasonal winds. Every day, pilots battle the wind and waves, fighting against nature to ensure that ships enter and leave ports safely.
Huang sailed part-time in college, and has since worked her way up from crew to captain. Seven years ago, she passed the government’s exam for maritime pilots, becoming the first woman to do so. She’s made her name in a male-dominated industry, breaking the glass ceiling to reach the top of her profession.
