Pilot boats & ship boarding in rough weather

- We we’re out on sea trials with the two newly launched Interceptor 48 pilot boats when the Port of Cork pilot boat ‘Failte’ passed by to undertake a pilot transfer from an outbound ship. It was a nice opportunity to capture some cool video of the action as the boats ran alongside before the ship turned to create a lee for the pilot to disembark. Although the seas weren’t very big, it was blowing hard at the time with gusts of over 50kts recorded at Roches PT lighthouse as we passed.

hats of to those harbour pilots for sure... great footage too folks
Incredible footage again. Gratefull that you keep sharing these awesome clips with us. Thank you so much Frank and the team!
Having worked for the Humber pilot service 72/73 I can relate to boarding and taking off pilots in atrocious weather,more so when it was wind over tide at the mouth of the river.Once or twice pilots had to go with the ship because it was unsafe to go alongside,no helicopters in those days.Roly 🇬🇧
I work in Rotterdam but never been a captain, pilot or anything but have been a shipping agent as in the agent for the companies that own the vessels. Every port of call Id go on board asap, but most of the time just after berthing. Occasionally though, I'd be on a pilot one too to board earlier. Thankfully the times it was windy, she was already sailing behind a dam breaking the waves.
But when I climbed those ladders, my sick mind always had to think about:: If i would fall or let go, I would be sucked so much under it, and those speeds of the vessel still are so fast compared to even thinking about swimming to catch up and be rescued ) NL
Entrance to Cork Harbour doesn't take any prisoners 🤣 You need some serious experience and skill to do this job 👏👏
BIG RESPECT
This notification came through just as I was walking in to work this morning. I've been waiting all day to get home to watch it on the big screen. Frank's boats are always great to see in action and his videos never let me down. Thanks Frank, keep 'em coming mate. 🍺🍺🍺🍺
Folks, i´m so happy to be lying on the couch. Greetings from Germany : - )

Real talk🙏💯
Great work again, thank you!
I love watching the pilot and pilot boat at work when I need something to make me feel better I watch these videos I admire these men
My favourite channel. Great content 👍
The Pilots are amazing. The skill set, piloting great ships in and out of port, and getting on and off the ship! In rough weather what they accomplish is breathtaking. I don't know what they get paid but they earn every penny. Love and respect from pdx. 🌹
About 200-400k per year
Wonderful video!
Amazing videos sir,,, wacthing in roxas City capiz Philippines
Great views, love it.
Nice finish with the Lighthouse.
That looks absolutely terrifying!
Awesome 👏
Hey Frank ! Your vids are always to short :) Nice work again :)
Just amazing 😮
Gran trabajo de los capitanes de lanchas pilotos
Love videos
Wow very nice and beautiful
Los mejores…👏👏👏🤘😘
Safety and firsh captain... 👍
I got seasick just watching this. I can't imagine having to that in rough or cold weather
It was about time the ship gave the pilot boat some Lee.
Nice video
Badassssss why are there 2 Pilot boats?
In case of emergency ma'am so there's another pilot boat standing by to assist her for example like this, A heavy weather encounter.. In my opinion, I hope I answer your question somehow..
@@frencedaveocbena1150 Thank you
@@frencedaveocbena1150 Actually, just one pilot boat, other two are on sea trials. ( see description)
Amazing
Cool 😎
Bugger that job!
Pilots definitely have balls of steel. I once saw a video of Hamble marine police avoiding bordering a trawler as it was too rough. Like a millpond compared to the conditions pilots operate in!
And ovaries of steel! Women are also pilots!
Anybody cares to explain to me, why can't the bigger ship just stop and wait for the pilot to board or disembark safely without so much risks?
Saudações aqui do Brazil, imagens fantásticas 👍
There is maximum of 10% of survival rate if you miss the deck or are swiped off the ladders. In 5 seconds you are sucked into propeller with utmost certainty. Especially in a ship where back if lifted like that and propeller(s) is almost surface piercing.
Interceptor 48
Nice ladies
Use those based at Tanger Med
Those pilot boats look amazing. We currently use our tugboat for pilot shuttles but we were about to get some actual pilot boats I was excited to run but the deal fell through :(
당신들이 진정한 도선사들이다.
한국 도선사는 조금만 날씨가 안좋아도
도선 시도 조차 하지않고
연봉은 3억씩 받아간다.
날 강도가 따로 없다.
지금 영상 수준에 날씨면
도선은 포기해야 한다.
It's an extremely attendance which caused a deadly accidents for pilots at Port Said north entrance of Suez Canal area .
Three pilot boats? Hanging out on the windward side
My father was a NY/NJ Harbor Pilot.
These men are Badassssss
Women are also pilots!
leadership doesn't comes from bigger physical strength it comes from bigger heart.
People do support me at my back to move forward to lead myself with my voice.
That first ship is hauling ass. From my experience on cruise ships when the pilot gets on the ship is going very slow.
Sietas-Yard, Hamburg/Germany, type 168-ship, nice situation calling Cork.
Has anyone tried flying the boat above the water on a ''wing like'' stabilizer to stay above the waves and stable next to the ship to board, like racing sail boat are doing ?

My great grandfather was a river pilot in Cork

When is the boarding?
Surely they can do it over Zoom these days 😜
Oh my God and Holy Mother ✓
I worry more than even when I got married ✓ Very touching scene...
No point fannying around in the wake of the ship, get alongside and have the pilot aboard.
😘😘😘
imagine if i sell my car and my house and the rest ....... then i buy one i dream on.
memang jago ini kapal
very dengers

(Inside cabin) cool as a fucking cucumber didn't even mess up

In God we trust
There must be a better solution than this.
E.g. guidance from land with cameras and audio
I haven't heard of marine pilots before. Can't the captain do what they do?
They navigate the ship safely from uncommon waterways the captain is not familiar about but the ship is still in hands of the captain.
زوجي بحار يريد الهجره
That makes me feel sick 🤢 just watching it 🤮
Nah. My ass staying on the cargo ship. Where to gentlemen? I'll catch an Uber back from China or something, don't worry about it. And if it's getting on the ship, they can find their way. Park anywhere it's cool.
Ubbbbbeeeer 👍😂😂😂
@@Utubin imma eat that surge fee before I let the surge eat me.
Could I just say a few swear words
On boat to ship Pilot transfers: This is the absolute stupidest primitive thing, I've ever seen. They invented braces and hoists, decades ago. You put on the brace jacket, and attach it to a quick release hoist or pulley lift, that lowers or raises up, the Pilot. Sometimes it's worth it, to break old stupid traditions. Especially where the loss of life, is possible. If this is a rite of passage, it's idiotic.
Lo que no entuendo es la intención de los practicos/pilotos. Lo nirmal es que haya solo uno.
