Maritime Education #5: Pilotage Operations on General Cargo ship

Adding map and speedometer widgets to your GoPro video clips. Tips by Capt. Kris de Decker

This document aims to provide information to pilot organisations and/or competent pilotage authorities on the conduct of pilot transfer operations.

To monitor the vessel’s progress, the pilot had set up his portable pilotage unit (PPU). He had connected the rate-of-turn generator to the vessel’s pilot plug and had set a variable range marker on the radar with a radius of 0.5 nm.

An article by Arie Palmers highlights his collaboration with Multraship to develop a solution aimed at enhancing the safety of pilot boarding on harbor tugs, ultimately reducing delays.

When a vessel navigates in confined waters, such as in a harbour or narrow channel, it is well known among experienced pilots that the ship handling is greatly affected by the hydrodynamic forces and moments acting between ship and bank or sidewall of the channel.

This is a description of how to view and track defects on vessels in the Saab Pilot Control program.

IMPA is conducting a study to gain significant insights into the current and potential use of "remote piloting" on conventional ships as well as those that may be remotely operated or navigated by autonomous software in the future.
