Around harbours, rivers, ports and basins, pilots offer local knowledge and the experience necessary to ensure navigation safety and protect the environment. Through daily practice, pilots develop specific qualities and techniques for maneuvering ships in narrow waters and restricted areas surrounded by port facilities.
They serve ships day and night, through thick fog or high winds, thus avoiding delays or carrying the maximum cargo capacity through the usable depths of the channel in the economic interest of the port and the ships, thereby ensuring fluidity of traffic, and therefore participating directly in the competitiveness of the port.
In addition, it is expected that the maritime pilots, who are the only port stakeholders to board the ship “en route”, report to the State of the port of call if the ships present a risk to the environment or by security. To carry out their mission, pilots deserve high quality equipments, especially high performance boat foam fenders, necessary for all-weather and safe ship berthing.
