3:45 TOTE Maritime huh? I remember reading a book about one of their ships sailing straight into the eyewall of a category 3 hurricane and sinking with all hands. Wild.
Very interesting and informative. Well explained and easily understood. This is a very important yet dangerous job. Takes a high degree of intelligence and the skillset to strategize and analyze so many things at once. *My hat goes off to these men and women. Big respect and prayers for them all.*
Everything you see on the decks, outside the cabin, plus on the fly bridge, as well as the rub rails and man lift on the stern, I installed, while working at Nordlund Boat, in Tacoma, Washington where they were built.
Probably the most dangerous part is getting off on onto the Pilot Boat from the larger ship. One slip and you can be crushed to death. I'm surprised they don't use a safety harness and ropes to secure the Pilot from falling. Safety gear works both ways. It can protect you and it can also trap you.
why dont the ships just use there brakes and stop moving... simple as that??? And before you say they have crappy brakes thats mainly because they get contaminated by the salty waters... or they dont change the brake pads out enough...
Most ship pilots are able to speak multiple languages but other times they usually have some else that can speak the language if they don't. I am pretty sure that in order to be a ship pilot you have to be able to at least speak some foreign languages because of having to communicate with people from all over the world.

@ 03:36 is Captain George Thoreson with the Puget Sound Pilots! He's a really cool guy and has an awesome taste in music!

I'll pay more attention to the ships in Elliott Bay now! Very interesting.
VERY WELL DONE, AND INFORMATIVE. JB, SF

@@nateb-runs5053 terrible trolling. Shut up
Hello guys love.
Have you ever went on the same ship more than once that you remember
Love
Would have been better if portions of the clip to include the actual con of the vessel upon taking over from the Capt till the vessels safely secured.
who's video is this? Is there a way to contact them? Eric Apoe
How do they overcome the language barriers?

@@josephbennett3482 I know many ship captains where I'm from and not one of them speaks more then one language.
