A pilot boat is used to transport maritime pilots between land and the inbound or outbound ships that they are piloting.
A maritime pilot, marine pilot, harbor pilot, port pilot, ship pilot, or simply pilot, is a mariner who maneuvers ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths. Maritime pilots are regarded as skilled professionals in navigation as they are required to know immense details of waterways such as depth, currents, and hazards, as well as displaying expertise in handling ships of all types and size. Obtaining the title 'maritime pilot' requires being an expert ship handler licensed or authorised by a recognised pilotage authority. WIKIPEDIA

All large shipping must engage a pilot in order to traverse the port entrance at Point Lonsdale and continue up to Melbourne through the shipping channels.
'The Rip', (Entrance to the Port of Melbourne), is amongst the most dangerous port entries in the world.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
It is always exciting to watch the pilots board the ship via the Jacob's ladder. When the sea is as rough as it is here off Le Havre in France, it is not without danger.
Es ist immer wieder aufregend zu zusehen, wenn die Lotsen über die Jakobsleiter an Bord des Schiffes gehen. Wenn die See dann auch so unruhig ist wie hier vor Le Havre in Frankreich, ist das ein nicht ungefährliches unterfangen.
Making a living isn't always lucrative for fishing boats anymore. Fisherman and alike have their money highly invested in business boats that struggle to make a living.
Fishing isn't what it used to be.
On the flip side ....the beauty of these boats at rest, with their mirrored images reflecting from the glassy looking Fraser River....remains priceless.

On Saturday I will anchor my ship in Montreal harbour. his boat will bring my relief to the ship and take me ashore for a few weeks leave. I will return again March 15th.
Our sister ship at the dock. The pilot boat passing her to come to my ship. We will heave up anchor and proceed to Quebec
We've had some strong wind lately. More on its way tomorrow - statewide weather warning has been issued.
MV Alecto
Seen here loading in Poole harbour, the MV Alecto, a general cargo ship, built in 2007 & sailing under the flag of Netherlands. With a gross tonnage of 2545, her LOA is 89m with a 13m beam & a draught of 5.5m.
As we were leaving St. Thomas (USVA) aboard the Carnival Liberty, the pilot boat returned to pick up the harbor pilot. This was the first time I had watched this process. The Liberty was fully underway and it was like we were racing. The boat eventually pulled close to us, matched speed, and the pilot stepped across like the two boats were standing still. The boat was the Harry L. Magras.
