National Maritime Institute, 23rd Batch, Pilot Ladder

According to a report today by www.MaritimeBulletin.net a mooring boat was rammed from a container ship and sunk.

SWATH Pilot Tender "Duhnen" from Cuxhaven, Germany shows a fantastically smooth sailing behaviour under these weather conditions.

Great video from Argentina. But a backpack is not recommended in combination with a life vest.

Interesting video by "JeffHK" from Hong Kong about the job of a maritime pilot.

The last month Jan Tiedemann from Alphaliner (BRS) in Hamburg has reported, that DNV GL has awarded Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (group) Co., Ltd. an approval in principle for the design of an LNG-powered 25,000 TEU container vessel. Based upon the reported vessel dimensions, he reckons that the ship could actually have a capacity closer to 26,000 TEU.

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.

This vlog is all about a Marine pilot who performs his duty religiously in such pandemic outbreak.
So do watch it’s interesting.

As we all know there is a new regulation established since July 2012, this new regulation refers to pilot transfer arrangements. There are other yearly safety campaigns such as IMPA that include SOLAS V.23 and IMO Resolution A 1045 and Resolution A.1108(29). Unfortunately, in this annual overview there were some accidents reported that could have been avoided.
