In this video we follow along with Capt. Dane of the Palm Beach Harbor Pilots Association on a windy Saturday morning as he brings in a massive bulk carrier cargo ship into the Port of Palm Beach. This vessel which has a draft of 27 ft, and a beam of 99 ft is the maximum allowable size vessel allowed to transit into the port due to the shoaling going on that forces all vessel to have a maximum operating draft of 29 ft. No room for error. Also featured in this video is a regular cargo vessel for the Palm Beach Pilots, which sails a every other day run to Nassau. The pilot for this ship gets hands on and docks the ship manually.

@rp1645 Месяц назад

If anyone doesn't think these Pilots are not so, soo important in knowing Ports ( tidal flow, currents) and just how harbor is layed out. The poor Captain can't remember every port he kr she goes into, even though today its more and more like ferry boats or cruise ships going back and forth to same cargo delivery or load. These Pilots are so vital and necessary especially on the biggest container ships. Think about that Ladder climbing in darkness and a ruff sea state. My hat is off to these professional Pilots.

No suit and tie here at this working port. Between the tropical climate and sometimes up to 10 ships per day per pilot, we’d be in disarray wearing anything impractical for climbing.

@2256tracks 2 месяца назад

Just wondering, which is easier to dock, cruise ships or cargo ships ? Or are they about the same?

@TheTylerShow 2 месяца назад

Good question! Pilots are hands off for cruise ship dockings and more or less just watch the Capt. or Officer on watch do the docking where on Cargo ships the pilot is more hands on with them working with the tugs as a lot of cargo ships have less than ideal propultion which forces them to use a tug. I have a video coming out in two weeks that shows a cruise ship docking from the pilots POV. 🤙

@Luis-xr6ec 2 месяца назад

I have a question 🙋🏻‍♂️ Why does an outside captain come in to dock the cargo ship? Isn’t there already a captain in the ship that can do all that?

@PillSharks 2 месяца назад

The pilot has the local knowledge of the area and the workings of the port… the master can overrule the pilot at anytime if he feels the pilot is doing something he doesn’t like. I think there’s only a couple of places in the world where the pilot takes control and isn’t there in an advisory capacity.. the Panama Canal is one of these areas. ⚓️🦈. My little village is where John Cabot left in 1497 to discover the Americas and it was a man from Pill, Somerset who piloted them down the river Avon from Bristol to the sea.. Bristol likes to claim the Matthew left from Bristol but in truth, she probably left from Hung road in Pill as the river wasn’t navigable on one tide back then.. pilot was James Ray and up until a few years back we still had a Bristol Pilot working who was direct decent of James Ray!

@chiphill4856 2 месяца назад

The local pilot knows the local water, the currents, the prevailing winds, the effects of tide, then hazards, the shallows, the local tug operators and much more. It's a highly complex act to maneuver a ship that big through a series of narrow channels without an incident. I'm not a harbor pilot but I live in an active port city and know several of them personally. It is an admirable job. Not for everyone.

How much does a Harbor Pilot make in the United States? The average Harbor Pilot salary in the United States is $107,884 as of April 24, 2024, but the salary range typically falls between $79,428 and $130,312.

@Claytyrus Месяц назад

@@freighter1097 Mississippi River pilots around Baton Rouge and New Orleans are a cult and knock down right at a million a year. If your daddy or Grandpaw wasn’t a pilot you aren’t getting in. They keep it in the family.

@@davidabbitt1744 yeah, I know. I’ve worked with ships for over 20 years and I’ve been onboard with a pilot docking, undocking and shifting and I was under the impression from what I saw that the Captain usually worked the thrusters. I know if I were a pilot, I would prefer handling the thrusters as opposed to ordering someone else to do it. Seems like it would be equivalent to playoff a video game but someone else is holding the controller.

You'd think that in this day and age, we'd have a better way to get the pilot onboard besides a rope ladder. I guess the pilot's career is over when he can no longer climb the ladder.

Haha, you're not wrong about being careful! But for first-timers, slow and steady really is the pro move. Speeding up can make you miss a good grip, and that's when things get hairy. Better safe than, well, you know...
