Wow, the Wide Juliet looks stunning as it sails out at Point Lonsdale! 🚢✨ The backdrop of Victoria, Australia, makes this even more captivating. Does anyone know the ship's cargo or its next destination? Love seeing these majestic container ships in action! Keep up the great content!
Great question! Slowing down and turning for pilot disembarkation must require precise coordination, especially in busy shipping lanes. 🚢 I wonder how captains and pilots manage this during peak traffic. Thanks for sharing this insight-it's fascinating to learn about these behind-the-scenes operations!
Turning to supply a lee is standard procedure off Port Phillip Heads. The pilot boarding area is a controlled space as such and between the VTS and pilots they communicate where they are to enter and leave the area. two "virtual "marks India and Oscar designate where the ships enter ( India ) and exit ( Oscar) the VTS controlled area. You can hear the ships asking permission on VHF 12 at times on my videos.

Thanks for sharing.
Are they always able to slow & turn to allow easier disembark for the pilot? I guess if it is busy it may be more difficult.
