Palm Beach Harbor Pilots: The Essential Job Behind Docking Caribbean Cargo Ships 24/7

In this video go behind the scenes with Capt. Reid of the Palm Beach Harbor Pilots Association on the nightshift, as he docks four different cargo ships of all different sizes that help support the islands of the supply chain of the Caribbean. The pilots are important to allowing the safe operation in and out of the Port of Palm Beach every day or night and to keep the goods for the islands arriving on time.

A lot of footage captured during riding with Capt. Reid on the night watch after sundown was not able to be used in this video due to the fact that there was nothing to see on camera due to the nature of the ships bridge at night being extremely dark as in order to maintain natural night vision needed for safe navigation, lights cannot be used.
