The Netherlands is a world leader in maritime technology. Many companies at the port of Rotterdam are dedicated to expanding the field.

Port of Rotterdam Authority is using these solutions to train commanding officers for its vessels.

In this video we follow along with Capt. Dane of the Palm Beach Harbor Pilots Association on a windy Saturday morning as he brings in a massive bulk carrier cargo ship into the Port of Palm Beach.

No room for error. Also featured in this video is a regular cargo vessel...

The entrapment problem of a pilot ladder has not yet been solved and has prompted Captain Francesco Aiello to seek a solution. His very simple idea (patented) has been internationally recognized as innovative.

Pilot ladder broke when pilot was boarding general cargo ship CREST CRANE at night Nov 5 at Keelung Port, Taiwan, to take the ship out.
