Marine-Pilots.com only accesses image sources that are usually publicly available. In doing so, we do not want to compromise anyone; however, we do show the reality of pilotage as it really happens and is publicly viewable, for example, on YouTube or other sources.
If the footage shown leads to a constructive discussion or to changes for the safety of pilots, then we appreciate and support this.
