Ex chief pilot of Bremerhaven harbor pilots on 400 meter ships (German with subtitles)


published on 1 February 2023 27 -

Found on YouTube. Created by "Volker Kölling coast communication". Originally published on 2023-01-26.
Matthias Meyer was head of the Bremerhaven port pilots, nautical expert and lecturer at maritime schools. In front of our camera, he voices what has long been a topic of discussion in shipping circles: that the 400-meter container ships have simply become too big for the narrow shipping channels of the Weser and Elbe. In his view, a serious accident is only a matter of time. We take a look at how the district is dealing with these giants and what politicians, BUND and shipowners have to say about it.
