Irregular hours; outside or in a vessel; no fear of heights!

When a ship enters a new harbour there are dangers everywhere from hidden reefs to strange currents to sudden depth changes that can take a multi-million dollar freighter and run it aground. To overcome these challenges ships use Marine Pilots to guide them through mysterious waters.

Marine Pilots know all the hidden dangers of their homeports like the back of their hand. They are expert sailors with years of experience under their belt and just when the Master of a Vessel is wishing he could “Ask Jeeves”, a Marine Pilot arrives to help him out. The Marine Pilot not only brings a plethora of knowledge but makes a vital “go between” for ships and port authorities. The health of any harbour, strait or river needs these special guides to keep ships safe.

Most have Captain’s papers plus years of experience with the waters
