Unless you were paying attention on your last cruise, you might have missed the pilot boat bringing the pilot out to your cruise ship.

For many people, a career in the shipping industry seems like an unlikely choice, but others are making this improbable dream a reality.

Tuesday, October 1st is the start date of the latest International Maritime Pilot Association's annual Safety Campaign.
