About the Webinar 

Marine Pilots in Australia are recruited from a variety of different seagoing backgrounds. We talk to Marine Pilots from Ports in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales to find out about their pathway into Marine Pilotage, how they transitioned and the challenges that they have faced. 

This webinar will offer a great opportunity for anyone interested in going to sea to find out more about these different pathways. 

Agenda


  • Introduction
  • Description of your career to date, background of seagoing experience and how that has helped you reach your current position. 
  • What was your experience of the transition from a seagoing position into pilotage?
  • Was piloting what you expected it to be or different? 
  • What are the most challenging aspects of pilotage for you? What are the best parts?
  • Where do you see your career going in the future? 
  • Have you had a mentor in your career? 
  • How would you guide someone who wants to enter a career in pilotage? 
  • Question and answer session.

Video Wind pure drift encounter - practical experiments for getting useful data

published on 8 July 2022

How to get information for wind & current limits to be potentially encountered by thrusters – or current? - this will be described in this movie:
- Measure Drift speed, due to beam wind with no propulsion;
- Measure drift speed using full thrusters
- Estimate wind & current limits to be potentially encountered by thrusters – or current...
- Finally there is a simple formula as Rule of Thumb: the transverse drift speed is about 7-8% of wind speed!
