This is an in-depth discussion of the risks involved in maritime pilot transfers; an interesting job but with a risky commute to work.

The Arctic magnetic pole does not move anymore. It runs, faster and faster. In recent years, even faster than expected. Therefore, geo-researchers have now had an unscheduled change to their world model and adjust their calculations, so that navigation with compass and other navigation aids such as a Pilot Plug, used by pilots around the world, continue to work.

A short video explaining the operation, such as how to insert a request or an offer to the large pilot community. This service is still in the beta phase and is free of charge until further notice.
We look forward to your feedback and participation!

What happens when GNSS fails? In maritime navigation, this isn’t a hypothetical scenario – it’s a growing risk. Spoofing, jamming, and GNSS outages are increasing, especially in the Baltic Sea region. A failure can cripple navigation systems – with potentially serious consequences.
