Here is a movie i've recently made on board. Pilot boarding at the Wandelaar pilot station off the Belgium coast. We were underway from Huelva, south Spain to Antwerp in Belgium.

That's a great video!

Thanks for sharing!

Say...Was the guy on the pilot showing off going around in circles?

Thanks for the comments guys, wait untill you see my movie about mooring with 2 tugboats

Unfortunately, uploading has to wait untill i get home in a few weeks or when i have time to visit the seaman's mission. It takes ages to upload it via my cellphone! $:-\$

Edit: ah wait, here is already a teaser

That first pilot boat sure is a little nippy thing!

I like the last one

They do, don't they?

Great video

The pilot was very quick getting over to your ship

Ballast · « **Reply #14 on:** June 26, 2010, 13:19:10 »

It goes indeed very quick, it saves alot of time if the pilot doesn't need to use the pilot ladder. The SWATH vessel makes a list by transferring ballast to adjust to the freeboard of the vessel they need to get alongside with.

krytsch · « **Reply #15 on:** June 26, 2010, 13:20:14 »

Yes, I like the video too - both of them.

There is one funny thing when I'm watching ship-videos: Since I play Ship Simulator (08), I always try to move the camera by dragging the mouse ... just to realise, that it doesn't work.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #16 on:** June 26, 2010, 13:22:20 »

The stability of the SWATH hull must be very useful, compared to the fast monohulls RIB type vessels

Ah so that's why your were on that side.. so your vessel lists over to meet the SWATH then?

@ krytsch, that's very funny indeed.

McGherkin · « **Reply #18 on:** June 26, 2010, 13:31:34 »

Ah yes, SWATH Pilot vessels. Huge, but essentially pretty pimp.

Ballast · « **Reply #21 on:** June 26, 2010, 14:11:43 »

Thanks Eric and all the others for the kind words! It sure would make a nice addition to the game.

I knew i had her somewhere in yellow, but i had to dig really deep - I just make too much pictures during my voyages...

Ballast · « **Reply #22 on:** July 06, 2010, 14:49:25 »

And another one...

Pilot boarding by pilot vessel "Pioneer" near the Maas center racon buoy, during the approach of the port of Rotterdam this afternoon.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #23 on:** July 06, 2010, 15:12:20 »

Pioneer - isn't she in game too...

So you have been served by the SS Pilot...

McGherkin · « **Reply #24 on:** July 06, 2010, 15:24:23 »

I prefer this Pioneer to the SS one.
