Pilotage in bad weather Cork Harbour February 2021

  • Here’s some cool video footage we captured of the Cork Pilots in their Interceptor 48 pilot boat ‘Failte’ undertaking pilot transfers off Cork Harbour during the recent days of strong SE gales. Roches Point lighthouse recorded 50kts of wind on the 13th as the Cosco bulk carrier passed and the Cork wave buoy 2nm off the harbour entrance recorded waves to 6.7m at the time. The pilot boat coxwain managed to get alongside and safely disembark the pilot despite the challenging sea state. Afterwards on the 15th conditions moderated, with the Gramaldi car carrier able to depart which we caught again nicely by drone. Respect for the Ports pilots and pilot boats crew in keeping the Port working and shipping moving in such bad sea and weather conditions.

      Err, slightly smaller ships with much less draft not carrying thousands of tonnes of cargo. Also, the ships then knew the hazards, these ships could be from the other side of the planet!

      Been there done that, have been on a smallish sea going cargo vessel we had waves up to 9 meters at night luckily only for one night, one hit was so bad it woke up the captain, thats when you know you are in some deep shit that was also at Cork, the Irish sea can be brutal on ya.

    Stunning drone work. And hats off to pilots the World over for going out in conditions like this. I remember watching a programme about the Hampshire Police with their Botnia Targa in Poole bay. Talk about amateurs. There was a trawler they wanted to board but they had to abandon the attempt as it was too rough. Six foot waves. Pathetic. They should watch this and go back to their doughnuts!

    I can’t get enough videos from Safehaven Marine, very impressive and addictive. The local sea pilots in my part of the world, Port Phillip Sea Pilot’s, have been operating since around the 1830s and they operate in some conditions. Their launches are hugely impressive too but there aren’t many videos of them. 👍🏻
