Maritime Pilot, Ready To Provide Safety And Efficiency To Port Operations!!!

The Tampa Bay pilot association has returned its first Chesapeake Class pilot boat to Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding. Tampa was built in 2003 when the shipyard introduced the class of mid-size, high-speed launches.

Recently Capt. Troy Evans did a research into the breaking strength of various securing methods. To quantify the problem of unsafe practices, now is time to have a survey into the number of the various securing methods used worldwide.

At the end of the year and before Christmas, we were able to find a variety of offers for pilots who would like to change in the coming year.
