Whiplash...

I wonder what is being tried here.

Side glance at both ship’s Able Seamen and the wharf rats. 😒

Have you ever wondered what makes one of the most challenging moments in a maritime #pilot’s career so difficult? It is the moment when a vessel makes unintended contact with the berth while the pilot is conducting the manoeuvre. It is an overwhelming mix of emotions, disappointment, concern, and the weight of knowing that a series of investigations and procedural steps may follow. So, where does the real difficulty lie? Throughout the entire manoeuvre, a maritime pilot must maintain the highest level of concentration and situational awareness. Every movement, every variable, and every decision matters. It demands intense mental effort, sound judgement, and the ability to make critical decisions under pressure. And when an incident occurs, the challenge does not necessarily end with the manoeuvre itself. The operational pressure gives way to another kind of burden: reflecting on what happened, examining the circumstances, and anticipating the investigations and procedures that follow. This is one of the realities of maritime #pilotage that is rarely seen from the outside. Because maritime pilotage is not simply about manoeuvring a vessel safely. It is also about carrying the responsibility that comes with every decision.⬜️🤝🟥

So, did somebody forget to let go the mooring line?

Is dit sluis Holtenau?

That's how I lost a colleague.

Spring off aft?

Oei! 🙀🙀🙀

Is het niet zo dat het schip op de achterspring moet draaien? En dit zijn andere trossen. En kan zo een groot schip überhaupt op 1 Tros draaien. Ik heb vroeger gevaren op kleinere Spliethoff schepen en die deden volgens mij die manoeuvre.

Potentieel dodelijk.

Equivalent van vergeten de handrem af te zetten?

Didn't need that rope anyways...

SM 😜

😳

Wow! Forgot to let go?

there are many ways to cast off… this is one of them.. I hope no one got hurt

Foutje, bedankt!

I will go out on a limb to film a thing.
