    Article Safer shipping over ice

    by Drift + Noise GmbH - published on 16 October 2019

    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.
