This is how harbors work. Ports employee pilots, who board ships, get them through busy waterways, and dock them. The regular crew on a large ship just sits back when coming into port.
- nradov 10y agoThe regular crew doesn't sit back at all. They are busier than ever, it's just that they take orders from the pilot instead of a regular ship's officer for a few hours.
- bfuller 10y agoThose port pilot jobs are notoriously well paying as well as difficult to secure. Sure there will be more hubs than there are ports, but it doesn't look good for truckers. Not saying you were arguing any different op, just furthering the points made above and below.
