North Queensland Bulk Ports Pilots take on the virtual reality of the Shipping Simulator

Since 2019, the German Federal Pilotage Chamber (Bundeslotsenkammer, BLK), in cooperation with Hamburg Port Services GmbH (HPS), has been offering a three-day safety training course specifically designed for maritime pilots and pilot boat crews at a training center in Bremerhaven, Germany.

The three main french pilotage stations in the Channel - North Sea have changed their recruitment conditions for taking a pilotage examination.

In this one you will see a couple different times when the Pilot boards or leaves the ship and how they do it. It is always interesting to watch even though I have seen it many time. Hope you all enjoy the video and hope to see you in the comments as always.

The vulnerability of GNSS in shore-based use is definitely different and to be regarded as much more risky than on the high seas.
