HarbourPilot Mk5

In the last couple of years several paid as well as free tools have made it easier than ever to access vessels on a map. Although vessels shown on a map have their place, authorities and industry are understanding the greater potential and value of the underlying AIS data.

Theory on Wind drift will be shown together with demos using SAMMON planning on the effect of thrusters to have some effect on drift speed & direction

Video footage from the Florø rescue helicopter.

Pilot-in-the-Loop simulations embedded to a high-resolution maritime environment.

Australia’s high-tech FRP specialist boat builder Hart Marine has been building pilot, patrol and rescue boats for a couple of decades. That experience tells as the boats continually improve from an already high base.

The Transport Accident Investigation Commission of New Zealand (TAIC) has released its report on the incident involving the grounding of a foreign-flagged cargo vessel at Bluff Harbour on November 28, 2018.

On the 23rd of March 2021 the VLCC Ever Given grounded in the Suez Canal. A strong southerly wind (between 6 and 7 BFT) plus so-called bank shear caused steering issues. This a combined 2D and 3D reconstruction of the incident based on recorded AIS data.

Who knows the S-100 / S-102 electronic card standard? An introduction by the Maritime Simulation and Resource Centre, Canada

How Port Expansions Affect Pilot Safety? Wave Study Reveals Key Insights Why This Works: Targets high-search terms (port expansion, pilot safety, LNG terminal, wave study). Uses provocative question + data-driven hook ("Study Reveals"). Mentions tools (ADCP) and key infrastructure (LNG terminal) for technical audiences. ⚓ **How Safe Are Pilots After Port Expansions? Wave Dynamics Study** This research analyzes **wave distribution at a pilot station** using **ADCP and buoy data** to assess...

The European Union proposed making so-called pilot services exempt from sanctions targeting the transfer of Russian oil that are set to kick in this year to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.
