For three years I was working in Santa Marta as a tug boat master and I must say that I always felt very comfortable in your maneuvers. I really respect your professionalism and your excellent behavior with us.
Went to a Maritime School to get my deck officer.s license, then sailed 4 years to get the required sea time. then applied for a pilot;s license at home, and after a year of training I got my license. Started working right away in a local pilot company. Thanks
I am friends with a Harbour Pilot in Australia. He has tried to get me onboard a ship bearing my own name, however was not successful in achieving this due to safety concerns etc. Good ol' days are sadly long gone.
All maritime schools in the world have the same programs. You can either chose to be an engineer or a deck officer. For becoming a pilot, I needed to be a deck officer. It is the same as any university program, and depending on the school, it is 4 or 5 years long. Normally you get a college degree in Nautical Science or engineering and a marine license which you can use to work on merchant ships. the costs vary a lot depening on the country. I paid about 8,000 uSD per semester in the US.
I would love to see more videos of the life of a Harbor Pilot. This is the profession I plan to do and would love to learn more about it. Thanks For the video!!!
Great film Guille! Unfortunatelly it will never ever be possible to put on a film all the responsibility that comes in our day by day duties, and also the hard relation between safety and economic interests presented by pressures over the pilot shoulders sometimes. Congrats!!!
Its funny how i Just randomly came up on this video and without looking at the descriptiion, i kept saying to myself... This looks awfully lot like Santa Marta. Then i scroll down at the end of the video to see that it says, recorded in Santa Marta lolol... I've been here many times. I was Second Mate on 'CFS Pamplona' which does trade here quite often... Very nice port and place and a very good video. I also aspire to be a port pilot some day. Good Job
Buen trabajo rodriguez. buen video. Muestra que el ser marino mercante no es nada facil, pero a la vez es un grandioso trabajo. saludos desde venezuela.
Please, make more! Or just get in front of the camera and tell us about the maritime pilot's life! I'm 16 and being a maritime pilot is my life's dream! In 2015 I'm starting at the University of Marine Education in Rotterdam (Netherlands) I love this profession
great video! i applied for a maritime deck officer scholarship and will start my course this coming May! i'm very excited i can't wait! hehe! maybe in the future, i might wanna do piloting for my local port.
How fascinating! This would be a great profession for me! I plan on attending a Maritime Academy and doing something similar to piloting. This was a great "behind the scenes" video.
