Ship sailing from Liverpool Docks

A day in the life of a PLA Pilot and the team effort it takes to get the job done

It turns out that supertankers and cruise ships have valets. They're called maritime pilots, and they're among the most elite ship handlers in the world. So where does one go to learn how to park the largest ships in the world? To the Maritime Pilots Institute in Covington, La. There, they use mini-versions of the behemoth boats to teach the basics. All aboard!

This is a video designed to educate people about pilots and their work. It consists of an animated version and a live action version.

Good insight into the work of the pilots in Jamaica.

There are some problems that never seem to go away and one is the perennial difficulties in providing a safe way of getting pilots on and off a ship.
