Supmar Pilot Boat 12m GRP

KITTIWAKE ( MMSI 232008570) is a Pilot and currently sailing under the flag of United Kingdom (UK) Here she is speeding down the River this morning.

Spotted some Pilot Boats in the Port of Auckland, New Zealand and Melbourne & Fremantle Australia (Port codes: Auckland:NZ AKL ; Melbourne:AU MEL ; Fremantle:AU FRE).

Editor's note: Nice video and many right steps! But the pilot should walk on the other - none ship - side for his safety. Great to see so many helmets and the second man secured to the pilot boat with a line.

Vessel Review by BairdMaritime.com. The Pilot boat was build by Safehaven Marine.

According to a report today by www.MaritimeBulletin.net a mooring boat was rammed from a container ship and sunk.
