Pilots in MD make so much money that’s why I plan on going to maritime school then becoming a captain of a ship retire at age 50 with millions of dollars in the bank then become a Maryland pilot.
@Playford Seven - Actually The Port and It’s shallow water approaches are actually unfamiliar territory for A Captain ..Just as the same way You would be unfamiliar in a unknown chaotic country in a Car..The Captain doesn’t have knowledge of The local Currents,shallows and most importantly the manoeuvre for Docking is Performed by the Port Tugs who liaise under the Pilot’s Command to Turn around and Dock-undock in a tight space. Pilot is the Local Hero.Captain is the Man with Overall Responsibility.They work together and cannot get the job done without each other.
Being an captain or crew of a ship is not easy. They will took thier lives in danger specially when the sea is not calm... But they can deserve a high salry being paid by thier difficult jobs.
Hi guys, I'm very scared of the bottom of the ship. Especially scary to see it from the surface of the sea. I named it "bottom phobia". Is there the same?
You could get crushed between those 2 ships, while climbing that ladder. Every day they put their life at risk. Climbing 4-5 ships every day. Pilot's Job is very risky.
So, how aware are the pilots of the danger of what they do when they board ships like this? I know all of them know that it would be dangerous to fall of, but how dangerous do they think it is? Do they think it's more a danger of potentially being crushed between the ships (which could be survivable), or do they think it's more certain death, for example that they would be forced into the propellers from the enormous suction downwards along the hull into the screws? Would appreciate a reply :)
@Michael: in that particular moment you are very focused to do the right step in the right moment. Those dangers you mention are somewhere in the back of your head, but in that moment you couldn´t think too much about ist, because the right actions have to be done within seconds! And what is of the same importance is to start climbing immediately after stepping onto the ladder, because the pilot boat shouldn´t jam your feets or legs between boat and ship, when the boat comes up with the next wave! I´m a sea pilot at the Kiel-Fjord and at the east part of the Kiel-Kanal in Germany.
@@kielerforde8495 Very interesting! But do you think there is a genuine danger of being sucked into the screws of large ships if you fall off the ladder and end up in the ocean? I know that one person who jumped off the Stena Britannica was sucked entirely down through one of the propellers, but I'm guessing since he jumped over board that he ended up a meter or two under the water surface because of the tall jump. Any danger of that happening if you are floating near the surface?
@@michaelcaplin8969 Yes, that might happen! But as this would be a very dynamic situation and depending on many factors (position of the pilot-ladder at the hull of the ship to be boarded, weather, aquadynamic situation around the hull, etc.) it is hard to say, what ist the most possible danger to happen. The last fatal incident we experienced in Germany happened at Brunsbüttel-roads at the river Elbe ... that pilot was saved (I don´t know, if by helicopther or by the pilot-boat), but later died of hypothermia in the hospital ... a too long time in the cold water!
Why can't those ship builders think of a safer method for the pilot to board and get out of the ship??? Is it so difficult to think of a safe sure device???
I don't think the water was moving at all. It looked like the two ships were moving. The bigger one wasn't going to slow down so the smaller one had to keep pace.
Evergreen...
hope it doesn't get stuck
Never did find out if Maryland Pilots Assn. had to bite the bullet on that one!
Very smooth and accurate approach!
Well done Captain and Pilot for the team work
Very well done!!!
Not an Easy task
Respect for both the pilot and Captain 👏
now only if they handeled seuez with the same grace
So cool to see this perspective. Great video..
It's only,,, at that moment,,, one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet
That was really cool to see. Thanks for sharing.

This is what happens when you are late for your work and your boss is mad
You'd think that the ship could maybe lower a safety harness for the pilot in case he misses the ladder.
This would be dangerous
Yes dangerous
these people are fucking brave, balls of steel
Hey guys! Glad you liked the video- this is our track playing 🌊 thank you for all your kind words 🙏
These are real life super heroes👏🏻
That is badass considering the guy may be climbing on 3-4ships every day more than 200 days a year
Correct I do that everyday..as I am a Marine Pilot myself Without recognition whatsoever

Whats even more badass is the pay check
@@souravroadie123 you dont get paid? cause thats your recognition. if you want a metal or a pat on teh back get fucked
@@souravroadie123 Though I am not a pilot, I boarded on ships more than 6 times
Getting down is more risky.
Me: Where's the fucking stairs?! Crew: This IS the only fucking stairs!
Nicely done! That's like a 5 foot wave?
another hardest job in the world,
god bless

Evergreen ship I see in real
Moments before disaster
Sir, it is my company. Thank you , sir!
😂
The pilot of the small boat is bad ass. Transfer in conditions like this is cake. Add 10 meter more seas and 60 knot wind. Now THAT would take balls
We do get heavy weather, 10m and 60kt here in SF. But I don't stand on deck and take videos on those days!
Hi guys, I'm very scared of the bottom of the ship. Especially scary to see it from the surface of the sea. I named it "bottom phobia". Is there the same?
I believe it's either called "submechanophobia" or "thalassophobia"
Shippyassphobia I think it’s called
Do you use those Crab Pots while on station?
You could get crushed between those 2 ships, while climbing that ladder. Every day they put their life at risk. Climbing 4-5 ships every day. Pilot's Job is very risky.
Is he going for some sort of inspection of ship or cargo? Does every port do this?
Great job by the Master of the pilot boat in conditions like that. Great seamanship
How does he climb with those big balls of steel?
it's actually ladder with wooden foot steps, what you are seeing is the side of the ladder reinforced for stability
@@cpbounce91 you didn't get the joke
He has a pile of huge money on which his big balls of steel rest while he climbs the ladder
That is funny, But how does he do it
That's a gentleman job!
Is this the same ship that is blocking the Suez Canal?
Yes

@@kielerforde8495 Rip in peace to that pilot these men and women are truly amazing to me may all be safe
Anybody want to hear how sick I got on a cruise.🤣
🤣🤣🤣
👍👍 They make there DOUGH !
Not dangerous at all!!??! Oh its ok he's got his hi-vis on.
Why don't they get the ship to slow down a bit for a minute. Surely it would be safer
Time is money
Ship is not moving dude
Ship is moving at about 9-10 knots. That is best for keeping the pilot boat alongside in weather.
good job Captain,..
STS MUARA BERAU ANCHORAGE
Woah dude pretty lit
Why do they just let the pirate climb up so easily? They should at least try to stop him boarding.
Well pirate have ak47 with them i guess
heh heh- are all pilots pirates?
That big massive engineering piece of work and that's how you get in? Really???!
So what is the best way to get in?
@@eugeneimang999not like that... that's for damn sure
I've seen pilot ditching at sea but never this. Another strange aviation video.
Pilot station pilot station can you hear me over
Why can't those ship builders think of a safer method for the pilot to board and get out of the ship??? Is it so difficult to think of a safe sure device???
This is much safer during rough sea & swell.
Maybe the ship could lower a cage on a rope for the pilot, on a winch ?
Guys who is pilot in shipping .. same as captain
Ffs what is he waiting for
Very well done!!
So... was this the captain response
It’s a ballet with the ship.
Good work 🤣
Não vou negar,deu medo
Congrats
why the fuck did the boat move when he was climbing
what's ship name？
Joined a ship in Flushing at 0300 from the pilot boat Rope thrown over for my gear
Wtf ship is very huge but still speed was very fast
Evergreen
Who after ever given stuck
Cool 😎👍
It is very dangerous. No?
NICE one
Sukses buat parah pelaut...
Yang penting bisa Tiktok Puter Walik... Tetep Suoss lah
W A O W N I C E
Why dont they just stop?
Why is the water moving sooo fast
I don't think the water was moving at all. It looked like the two ships were moving. The bigger one wasn't going to slow down so the smaller one had to keep pace.
The ship and boat are moving at about 10 knots or 12 mph.
