This video shows how a harbor pilot boards a moving 200 m long ship moving fast into a sea of ice [source:

Easier than a Japanese subway at rush hour.

One of the most dangerous jobs in the world. This transition is actually one of the more safe. The usual way is from a chopping Pilot boat amidst the natural flow of the water and any wash created by tugs operating on the same ship.

And doesn’t say bye 👋 to his friend staying behind!

Ffs, too good.....I thought they were going to catapult up onto the deck.....or a hook hanging off the side would catch him. He literally just stepped aboard.

I think if you fall, you just die

Like a cross between Windy Miller and the moving walkway in Grease!

That little vehicle is cool.

Divergent vibes

Where did that harbor pilot and ramp come from?
