Ship pilots are inevitable for safe navigation of ships to and from ports. They perform one of the most important jobs of assisting ships through confined and dangerous waterways.
Though their jobs might seem a bit glamorous one, they carry-out some of the most dangerous procedures, especially while embarking and disembarking a vessel through a helicopter.
Helicopters are used for transporting marine pilots to and from ships, especially during rough weather, when pilots boats cannot be used due to safety issues.
