  • Remote, or shore-based, pilotage is an issue of some interest to the maritime community. When discussed, it is often in the context of new technology that in one way or the other is supposed to enhance piloting and enable ships to be piloted from the shore. This paper takes a different approach and instead looks at piloting as control of a complex system. Such an approach makes it possible to identify a fundamental problem with remote pilotage. The problem, along with possible solutions, is presented and discussed.

  • The aviation-shipping analogy cannot be used as an argument for a decrease in the need for maritime pilotage. The increasing complexity and upsizing of modern ships, in combination with a vast variety in ship types, economic maximisation, crewing and technical standards, lead to marginal ship operations that require specialist knowledge and skill. On the other hand, modern commercial aircraft have very standardised equipment and operating procedures and they approach and land at airports which also use standard radio-navigation aids and procedures.
