strait pilot rough seas 

Finally after how many years. I watched again this video. And I was carried away by the song. Nice choice of music. I've watch this video most of the time in 2007 before joining the seafaring world. My salute to those brave gentleman!

Thanks my mate I believe you made this video for the memory of our pilot brother Capt Lutfi Berk who lost his life durig disembercation from the ship called M/V REGINA V. I was the person who took him to the hospital in an ambulance desperet to bring him to life back.Unfortunatelly he was already passed away which I did not know. The videeo made me sad again and my sad memories come back. never the less show must go on. We are here and never forget him

This one of the first videos I ever watched on RU-vid 12 years ago

Beautiful tribute. This is a great compilation of what is to be a mariner.

This video set the hook in 2007, I've been a marine pilot for over 10 years now. Best job in the world.

the music is by a band called thirteen senses and the song is called into the fire. thx for all commentators.

my father was 1st engineer on merchant ships; this brings back images and so many memories.... i can smell the ships and the seas in the video! plato was probably right when he claimed that ''there are three types of men: the living; the dead; and sailors'' my eternal respects and cheers from a greek in landlocked brussels

screw rollercoasters.. on them you are sure at the end you'll live. on these waves you have to "chance it" screw that !! scary shitt!!

To all the seafarers of the world: Thankyou for bringing us what we need, what we want & sometimes saving our lives. RESPECT

I have been a Pilot Boat Captain by myself for many years and I have to thank you. This Video is honoring our job in the best possible way! Thank you! Capt. Walter

es un video precioso, me a emocionado mucho, la pelea del barco, con la mar enfurecida, y muy hermosa cancion......precioso el video, felicidades.

I stand up and Salute those gallant seafarers for their bravery!! A perfect tribute!! Thanks for the upload!!

thankyou for posting this video,a reality based video that shows the real life of pilots and pilot boat captains,a career that many of us take for granted.these men take risks to get the job done so that we may enjoy goods that are traded between countries. I take my hat off to these brave people, they have my utmost respect. gotta have to have nerves of steel just to climb the ladder, then after that they have to navigate the vessel to it's of port of call,, amazing individuals!!!!

Perfeito encontro entre MÚSICA / IMAGENS . Aliás este foi meu primeiro video adicionado ao favoritos. Muito bom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utterly brilliant and really touchng - thankyou whoever you are and wherever you are.

Every time I see I wanna see it more ! Amazing !! ⚓

The men who go to sea like this are a special breed!!!!

1:46 - 2:03 where does this video come from? That footage is completely insane, that wave was completely insane how it toyed with the ship. God, I remember watching this video way back to 2007 and never forgot it. This is the first time rewatching this in like 10 years.

0:48 - 0:57 AHTS Esvagt Omega ... keep rollin old lady ! :-)

Capt.Lutfu Berk (50 yo, was known being fond of his 3 children) a senior pilot serving in the Strait of Istanbul, lost his life when he fall onto the pilot boat while disembarking a ship on 20.12.2006 just after midnight. I'm sure that most of his friends/colleagues have been mourned once again after seing this video.

The Seas are endless... And our Souls are endless People from all over this Planet will unite As Their Souls are Endless There´s no Religion and no believe Just the Voice of our Hearts... Never Ending Unite...

Makes you really have a great appreciation for the likes of Ferdinand Magellan and all the others who sailed the seas with nothing more than some canvas, rope and tackle and skilled carpentry to build the boat.

I vote this the best video on the net. I keep coming back to watch it again and again. Music, image, editing are all great! the footage at 147/200 is freighning, awesome, beautiful and mesmorizing.

A beautiful tribute. Terrific music. It is not my country but real work is a shared human activity through place and history. Great job opening up the world a bit more to us all.

After 14 years I´m back. Still a beautiful video.

Fantastic editing and a great choice of music to go with this video. Thanks very much for this video! And I also say greetings to all mariners and seafarers; may you be safe on all the mighty oceans in this big ole' world of ours. Greetings from Ware, Massachusetts........

I have watched this video many times over the years. I'm sure I will watch it many more times in the future.

Such a Dangerous job...And I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Friend.the Sea is a wild thing, and climbing from one vessel to another must be so difficult as both are moving, and there is a risk of falling between the ships.. This is a job for the Brave, and all seafarers have my respect..The Sea is a fascinating element, but an unforgiving one.god Protect all at sea.

thirteen senses- in to the fire :)

best video on the web

Clearly all pilots are millionaires. Or that's what you would have to pay me to turn up...

please someone tell me the name of that song, I'm from Brazil, I will be very grateful!

I feel ashamed of myself,people like this carry food all across the globe in this horrible conditions and I'm too lazy to go shopping

imajem brutal e so o que eu tenho para dizer obrigado por dar a conheçer o mar ........

Congratulations! A perfect combination of music and scenes! Thank you! Voted = 5 stars

From one pilot to another - A truely great video!! Mariners and Seafarers are amongst the greatest and kindest to walk the earth and sail the seas!!

been there,done that.

@armenistis thank you mate, not everybody knows what we do

o my god, respect to those men indeed , that is scary shit

ONE OF THE BEST VIDS ON YOU TUBE, THESE ARE REAL MEN.

best song on the whole wide world

really good video, what is the ship at 1:46. that is the worst thing i have ever seen been a merchant mariner all my life.

Nice pilotage video, glad to some clips of my boats in their, cheers Frank - Interceptor's

My God!! What are those men made of?

Into the Fire, by thirteen senses

Imagens belas e assustadoras.

Again, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. !

best youtube video ever

16 years later

Thanks, man !!

nice song, whats the name?

işim gereği bende hergün birçok gemiye çıkıyorum. o çarmıha tırmanmak cesaret isteyen bir iş. tehlikeleri, emniyet eksikliklerini göze alarak çarmıhı tırmanan pilotlara en derin saygılarımla...

Respect to those guys

video yu izleyince aklima tek bisey geliyor.. bu sartlarda calisan insanlari cani gibi sevenlerin hergün onlari korkuyla endiseyle beklemesi.. ve malesef bazen bu bekleyişler sonsuz oluyor... tipki kilavuzluk görevini yaparken talihsiz bir kaza sonucu vefat eden Lütfü Berk'i esinin ve cocuklarinin bekledigi gibi.. allahtan Lütfü babaya rahmet, sevenlerine sabır diliyorum

what doe "pilots" do..guide ships thru ports?

As being a Shipsmechanic onboard some of the biggest containervessels on earth it is nice to se this fine film of pilot-activity and life onboard a pilotboat as I usually just see the Pilot enter our vessel and some hours later I see him leave it again. Splendid footage

Gurkan 3.Kaptanliginda pasifik gectigimizde 25 gunluk surede hic guverteye inmedigini bilirim, ustum kirlenmesin diye. Lutfen laf etme denizcilerin isine.

Por dios que lindo,yo voy a entrar en B-Ships para Mozo y el mar agitado me da mucho miedo pero ver todo eso me gusta y me encantaria. Signature:BaltoSource123

Back after 16 years. I worked in the bering sea and although our F/v’s are nowhere near the size of some of these ships, I feel nostalgic, watching this, as I have respect for all men working on boats, ships and the pilots who bring them to safety.

admiro a todos esos valientes hombres que desafían el mar en sus trabajos , no todos lo hacen y la emoción que deben sentir ufff , saludos .

To ADtranzer, the number one power at sea is the sea as demonstrated so beautifully by this film, seafarers never forget that. I spent 23 years at sea, it can be beautiful, awe inspiring and occasionally frightening but the first thing you learn is to never turn your back on it. Seafarers always stop what they are doing and change course to go to the aid of a fellow seafarer, it doesn't matter who he is or what nationality.

Besides, this video is about *pilots*, who do not live on ships. They are the ones who board a ship outside the harbor (which is why there are so many scenes of boarding at sea) and guide it in to port. By necessity, they live at port. They have to have deep knowledge of the unique hazzards of their port. Currents, tides, rocks, shifting bottom conditions. Plus, they have to be highly experienced helmsmen, able to adapt to the handling of a wide variety of ships. They make serious money.

Hi JRC, In the UK You need to become a ships captain first then apply for a job directly to the district that you are interested in. Some countries have national pilotage organisations to which you apply and then get allocated to a specific district. There are some exceptions to that rule but the vast majority of countries require a captains certificate at the very least.That is why you dont see any young guys in the video.

great video... however, I wonder if the sea conditions are the same in the takes that show the pilots boarding as in the others... Anyway those pilots, as most all over the world, do a great job... These guy must be able to assess the beavior of a boat whatever her tonnage, windage, cargo, and all her other characteristics. Did you ever hear of an accident caused by a pilot in ahy harbour ? I didn't.

Excellently put together video. I love the sea,always have done since a kid. Great admiration for all those who work on the sea and the Pilots,worldwide.I used to watch the Pilots boarding the ships in 'The Wash' on the East coast of England. If I only had the bollocks to go to sea I would have years ago but I'am too chicken. All these 'storm' videos are quality. Top people!!

it brings me goose pumps to see this it brings me back to to my night mare i have gone fishing out at sea various time for 20 days and i can tell u from self experience its unforgettable specially when you see this massive waves crash into the boat its just mind boggling you ask your self what r u doing but u cant do nothing but hope for the best

@Carobaires this video has been made for the memory of our pilot friend who lost his life during disembarcation at Istanbul straith.The maker also donets this film to the seaman of the world whome we appreciate their work. Obviously we do not get such storms here but may get sveral storms during december-february period.BlackSea and Aegean Sea enterance may get 7-8 gale force.

Agreed, there really is nothing like the open ocean feeling the spray of ocean on your face and in your hair. I even like the crystallized ocean water grime in my hair, odd as that sounds. The taste of it on your lips, that's heaven. And I love how it feels on the open sea at night when it's just you, the ship, and the stars. You made me get sentimental :-P Nice song too.

gece ve gündüz thanks all istanbul and dardanel strait pilots..............

Interesting video but why did the author include film footage shot on the Great Lakes as well as the Ferry Cariboo which runs between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in a video about the Turkish ship pilots. The story opf pilots is exciting enough without fluffing with unrelated video.

in most ports they have pilots that the captain has to let drive his boat into the harbor or through a straight in this case because of there superior knowledge of the area.these guys are very important and they are sent out to the boat that is coming in and they climb up usually bye ladder.

Baykal Abi Hakikaten iyi olmuş.Prototip filan ama.Cok başarılı.Eline sağlık.

Lots of good clips and i like the song. I also have respect for the job the Pilots do. But alot of the clips with really heavy sea in the video are taken from other videos here on RU-vid, and dont have anything to do with Turkish Pilots.

Pilots do a great job, but they do not board on heavy seas. There are times when ships are delayed going into port when "pilot unable to board due to heavy seas". Some of these clips look like force 9 gale winds so boarding would be out of the question.

Very nice video , real people,rel life, real work, dealing with nature, real storms, what kind of boat are this pilots using the grenn and orange may be some old italian built??? one the best videos in the tube Congratulations.Ernest

brrr!!! It's a nightmare man. The sea, cold and dark, waiting for victmis. It isn't for me, I prefer airplane where people die without pain and fast. Who likes this video, enjoy it 'cause I ever will see its waves again, anyway, 5 star.

Bad time to find our you get "sea sick". Or even gets some food poisoning! Boarding ships is not easy is swells. Many of military man lost lifes getting crushed between the offloading boat and the loading boat going down rope ladders!

Not all the ships in turkey only this with flag..... The No1 power of sea navy is greek navy..

worale es increible lo que puede llegar a aser la ambicion del hombre y me gustaria saber como se llama esa cancion me gusto mucho

Es increible el trabajo que hacen estos hombres. Aun con las olas mas sucias, son capaces de encaramarse a estos gigantes del mar...

Oh gosh.. I'd like to be a professional sailor. I have been on the Atlantic during heavy gales, and it was not fun. Anyway, I cannot see working in nonsense office worth seafaring.... God bless you all on the seas!

its called a "Clear View" the center peice spins around and stays clear of water and lets you see though heavy rain or spray, very handie in rough weather when you want to make sure your ship is still there

Who is playing the music, sounds a bit like cold play but doesnt recognise the track if it is them. Great video, you do a great job escorting those huge vessels into ports in rough and foggy weather

Turkish straits look, er, bitchin, Great Pilot Job dude, civies don't have a clue when it comes to mega tonnage freight handling by Sea or Rail. Neither did I til 4 years ago.....raildog...ie, reefrunner

its the best vid. thanks

Very rough seas indeed!

sorry for your brother.. i didn´t understand what happened to him cause i don´t understand english very well...but as you said show must go on.. anyway thanks for this amazing video!!

The amaising attractive power of this videocilp is excellent match of video footage and music. Many people were, are and will ask the name of the song... Thirteen Senses - Into the fire

that was plain eerie. I noticed that the ship's prop was stopped, it was probably in distress. Dunno why the other ship was so close (unless rescue). I would kill for more footage of that.

I AGREE SO MUCH ya19375.PLEASE TAKECARE ALL YOU SEAMAN/WOMEN.I PRAY TO JEHOVAH FOR THE ONES THAT DID NOT MAKE IT.THEY SLEEP JUST FOR A SHORT TIME.AWESOME VIDEO AND SONG TO MATCH

sailing the seas today is much more easier but not less dangerous than back in the days of maggellan ... but you are right ... all these great people need all of our appreciation

hi there, great vid, i work on the "tarakena" pilot launch, in wellington new zealand, so i appreciate the greatshots youve got, who sings the music?? its great good one.....

dehşet verici batmıcagından emin olsam zevk almayada bakarım aslında

video yu görünce yaptıklarınızla gurur duydum ALLAH hepinizi korusun selametle

Wonderfully constructed video bite of the daily life of sea pilots. Really enjoyed it

Absolutely Brilliant...Even not knowing these men, i respect them....and the choice of song is spot on...Real entertaining and sobering video...well done :)

such a lovely clip, they putting their life in danger but as they said at the begining of the clip "WE ARE HERE (for you)(burdayiz) NIGHT (gece) and DAY (gunduz)"

aaaa... the magnificent and cruel sea. Me the maximum one that I have taken in navigation has been sea forces 8 in increase... is danced is danced FIVE STARS
