I could say that was a neat 40 minute job and then the reef pilot takes over for a 14 hour job. But ... we do need both types of pilots to get the ship safely on its way from the port and beyond the Great Barrier Reef!! Well done Luke!

One hundred and sixty-seven years ago, what was once a pilots’ association became Pernambuco Pilot Station. On February 28th of 1854, Pilot Station 9 first appeared in the port of Recife, and was to assume the current configuration with the development of the Suape port complex, in the Ipojuca municipality, 40 kilometers away.
