Pilot

Canaveral Pilots Association (Canaveral Pilots) has partnered with naval architecture firms Glosten and Ray Hunt Design (Ray Hunt) on a pilot/demonstration project for the design, construction, and operation of an electric pilot boat. The boat will feature a battery-electric propulsion system with an emergency 'get home' diesel engine. Once in service, it will serve as one of two primary boats for supporting pilotage operations in Port Canaveral.

Join us for a discussion about psychological safety, bullying and SASH in the maritime sector. Participants include: Ann Till (Chief Vessel Operator, Ocean Infinity), Eric R. Dawicki (Northeast Maritime Institute & Dominica Maritime Administration), Eva Lianne Veldkamp (Northeast Maritime Institute & Dominica Maritime Administration), Jeanine Drummond (Principal Marine Advisor) and Jillian Carson-Jackson, M.Ed, FNI, FRIN (President, The Nautical Institute).
