The theory of the 'Swiss cheese' model of incident causation and investigation.

M/V PILOT 68 (CHEOY LEE shipyards 17m Self-righting Pilot Boat)

@Captain Ertan Ozgur, Senior Maritime Pilot

Today a look at a special vessel that is commonly seen on the Astoria waterfront: the pilot boat that takes pilots to and from passing ships.

The Zenith 54 Pilot Boat leads the way in performance and reliability. Designed for maximum efficiency and operator comfort, this 16m vessel reaches speeds over 30 knots, making it ideal for pilot transfers, crew transport, and ship assistance even in the most demanding conditions.
Crafted with a durable aluminium hull and wheelhouse, the design can be fully tailored to meet the specific operational needs of each client. We work closely with every end user, ensuring each vessel is designed...

Name: Pioneer Pilots ; Type: Pilot Boat ; Callsign: PCGX

The formation of the All India Marine Pilot Association was a task which was required at any cost. The hurdles of Morale ground were noticed and one such organization was then decided to be formed by Group of Mariners who care for ’safety and security’ of the Pilot.

The world watched as the grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal played out. In a 2-part Quadcast Shipping Special, the "Quadcast" reviews the consequences and legal implications of a major maritime incident of this type.

In this special episode of Beyond the Frame, we take a peek into the career of ship pilots as told through former Maryland pilot and artist Captain Brian Hope's work, Boarding a Liberty ship - 1947.

This my attempt to do just that. This is a summary of all scientific papers and articles that I could find about the ship’s pivot point. I have added links to any videos associated with the publications and have also included any useful diagrams or equations that the authors published to help explain their research.
