Article The magnetic north pole migration - What a Pilot should know
by Dev Leon Gerhards - published on 22 February 2019
The Arctic magnetic pole does not move anymore. It runs, faster and faster. In recent years, even faster than expected. Therefore, geo-researchers have now had an unscheduled change to their world model and adjust their calculations, so that navigation with compass and other navigation aids such as a Pilot Plug, used by pilots around the world, continue to work.
The Mission of Marine-Pilots.com

The central task of Marine-Pilots.com will be to bring together the large community of Pilots with their specific themes in one place. With the support of the community, we want to gather all the information available worldwide about the pilot and his work and publish it on Marine-Pilots.com. We want to promote every form of cooperation and information exchange between Pilots and their partners on this platform.
“Coming together is a beginning;
keeping together is progress;
working together is success.”
Henry Ford
By providing information and services, we want to support and constantly improve the work of Maritime Pilots.
Our passion: improving Marine Pilots' work.

What is the right job title for a pilot?
In English the term "pilot" can be misunderstood, because a "pilot" could also be the captain of an airplane. The terms "Marine Pilot" or "Maritime Pilot" describe more precisely that the pilot of a ship and not of an aircraft is meant. If we only write "pilot" on our page, then we always mean the pilot of a vessel.
In the future we will be able to publish a list of the professional titles "Pilot" here, which show the different spellings and designations for "Pilot" - also in different countries and languages.
