Pilotage and navigation support are critical aspects of maritime operations, ensuring that vessels can safely and efficiently navigate through challenging waters, particularly when entering or leaving ports, navigating through narrow channels, or passing through hazardous areas. A marine pilot is an experienced mariner with extensive knowledge of local waters. Their primary role is to guide ships safely into and out of ports, through rivers, straits, and other challenging areas. Pilots are usually required in complex navigational situations where local knowledge is essential.These are physical or electronic devices used to assist mariners in determining their position and course.
