Today Marine-Pilots.com has registered 640 pilot organisations / companies worldwide

To better bundle all articles and messages about Marine / Maritime Pilots I would like to suggest the Hashtag #MARINEPILOTS. We can use it well here on LinkedIn, but also for other social media like Twitter.

Announcement from www.Marine-Pilots.com:

It all started with the idea and vision of a large community of Marine Pilots, bringing people and organisations together. A web portal that gathers all the information for the pilot industry, makes all the stakeholders visible and gives the world's pilots an opportunity to exchange ideas among themselves.

The technical body will bring together the extensive technical expertise and professional knowledge of Canada's licensed maritime pilots.

Free Marine Pilot Profiles webinar, unday 14th November at 7pm AEDT. Open to everyone.
