Although

most people nowadays think of aviation when they hear the word "

pilot

", the term was originally used to refer to local seamen whose task was to guide

ships

through coastal waters and into a port. In fact, the English word "

pilot

" evolved from the Dutch term for a plumb lead, a length of rope with a weight on the end of it used for measuring the depth of water. Today, nearly every port employs

pilots

licensed by the government of the country, and the use of their services is compulsory, except for local

ships

whose master holds a current pilotage exemption for a specific port.

Pilots

are responsible for the safe conduct and navigation of any ship from the time they assume control from the master after boarding at sea until the

vessel

is safely moored at the allocated wharf, or vice versa in the case of

ships

that are leaving a harbour. The history of sea pilotage goes back many hundreds of years to a time when seamen with local knowledge offered their services to

ships

’ captains to help them navigate their vessels through the waters at the entrance to ports. As maritime trade widened into new territories, help was required in approaching little-known areas of

coastline

the coastline

show examples

. Early European settlers in the New World were often provided navigational assistance by the native people who had been residing in the area for many thousands of years. Using their canoes, the natives would lead

ships

into unknown rivers or natural harbours and warn mariners of any underwater dangers. Once settlements began to become more established,

ships

arrived more regularly in the area. By

then

many of the early

pilots

were settlers who had become fishermen. These fishermen would often command good fees for piloting

ships

because of their specialised knowledge of water depths, navigational hazards, tides and currents in their local areas. Today, coastal marine

pilots

have a wide range of responsibilities. They must provide advice on the safe navigation of a

vessel

and act as stewards of the sea. They must provide detailed passage planning, local knowledge, leadership to the bridge team, and liaison with shore authorities and

vessel

traffic services.

Pilots

also

need to provide independent judgement and advice to the ship’s master, who ultimately remains in command of the

vessel

.

Moreover

, a

pilot

has to monitor his or her own personal health and safety, and he or she must

also

be a mentor to new coastal

pilots

. The scope and obligations of the job facing a

pilot

today are extremely challenging, but the variety and rewards of

this

work mean that there is intense competition among people wanting to enter the field.
