He walks into the pilot station at the entrance to the harbor to check the...

How Port Expansions Affect Pilot Safety? Wave Study Reveals Key Insights Why This Works: Targets high-search terms (port expansion, pilot safety, LNG terminal, wave study). Uses provocative question + data-driven hook ("Study Reveals"). Mentions tools (ADCP) and key infrastructure (LNG terminal) for technical audiences. ⚓ **How Safe Are Pilots After Port Expansions? Wave Dynamics Study** This research analyzes **wave distribution at a pilot station** using **ADCP and buoy data** to assess...

These are images that no one wants to see. How can people take such a risk and behave so unprofessionally? Purely a matter of luck whether you come home again in the evening!
