Pilot on Board - Documentary Movie ⚓️
(English subtitles from the YouTube settings!)

The documentary Pilot on Board shows us the highly responsible work of Finnish pilots and pilot boat operators, through all seasons, in different circumstances, ships and ports. In spring we go onboard in Örregrund, Kotka, to guide the cargo ship M/S Arabian Breeze to port. In summer we see how the 290 metres long cruise ship M/S Emerald Princess is piloted from Harmaja to the West Harbour in Helsinki. The pilotage of a Dutch ship in Lake Saimaa was filmed in autumn. Winter found us in the Ajos pilot station in the Sea of Bothnia, in arctic ice conditions. The unique Finnish nature and sea are a fundamental part of this documentary.
