    Pilot arrived 20 mins after the first contact , so how was he late 🤷 ships have to wait up to an hour or more sometimes before a pilot comes on board. There is lot of procedures that needs to be followed before a pilot is sent to the ship .

    • @sarge6870
      @sarge6870 3 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      I've been on 13 cruises and arrival to ports are always early. Even when returning to homeport. Can't blame the pilot when the ship is due to arrive at a certain time and arrives too early. Many pilots multi-task by serving other ships too. They may get off of one ship just to go directly to another for berthing or departure.

    While Mexicans will say we'll do it "mañana".
    Jamaicans are early, even if they're 2 days late.

    The US Navy ship I was on docked at Ocho Rios, probably 24 years ago or so... great little city. Coming in wasn’t too bad, but leaving we ran over some buoys and snapped at least one line, which promptly wrapped around one of the screws. Never forget watching the Captain, Chief Engineer, and MPA in dress whites, tearing into the reduction gear, before they realized what had happened. We couldn’t really go into any of the shops, because we were afraid we’d get a contact high, and we new dang well that we were going to get drug tested after spending a weekend in Ocho Rios. The Grand Jamaican hotel allowed us to use their facilities, so we shut down most of their bars. Red Stripe is def. an acquired taste...

    As a captain, it is a calamity, a balancing act when you are dealing with wayward winds, multiple inbound, outbound, port and starboard tidal currents, bow thrusters, prop pitch, steering pitch, along with keeping a smile on your face. Now to boot, a port pilot that did not follow protocol, by answering the ships bridge request for his service. If not for a ships load of anxious vacationing folks, I would have detoured to the next destination.

    We traveled on the Norwegian Epic in December 2017 and they actually ported at that cargo pier lol weather was bad and there were already other ships ported at those ship docks. Epic actually ports on the other side of the island but because of bad weather we had to go to the other side (this side with the cargo pier.) We already missed Bahamas due to bad weather so they weren’t about to miss another port. It was cool because our excursion was a two minute car ride down the road (zip line/bobsled) then we hit up Margaritaville for a Red Stripe! YAH MON!

    I'm surprised they didn't talk about how many ships get caught up on The Sandbar in Jamaica near the James Bond Pier. It's been many years since I've been to Jamaica maybe they have finally dredge the waterways better. But approximately 10 years ago ships used to get caught up on The Sandbar. Some ships even had their props damaged causing the cruise ships to shudder and Shake. Until a drydock and properly balanced or replaced.

    Any captain should be able to dock a ship in a sea port, particularly an open port like Ocho Rios. A modern ship with dual engines and bow thrusters can pivot so there should not be a problem. Pilots are really only needed in inland waters (think the Great Lakes, the Mississippi etc). Many countries, particularly Caribbean countries require ships to have pilots just because they want the fees. The captain obviously cannot state the truth on camera so goes with the line that the pilot is needed. Google the port of Ocho Rios on google maps. If a captain cannot get his ship tied up here, perhaps more training is required.

    • @Viktoriskane91
      @Viktoriskane91 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It all depends on the layout of the port, wind and the set of the current, propeller arrangement, if you have fixed propellers or dynamic propellers etc. In a situation like this, I think I would prefer doing exactly what he did because when you dock while going astern, you have to start using the bow thusters as rudders and along with that you kind of loose stability in the stern since the sidemotion of the propellers change when you go astern.
