Piloting

  • Lamanage is a term of the maritime vocabulary and indicates operations of assistance to the mooring, the désamarrage of the Navire S at the time of their arrival, departure or also of their movement (change of station with quay) inside the ports. The crew of the ships being limited and being occupied, it was necessary to create a service with ground. The Lamaneur S are specialized sailors.

  • the operation of piloting can be dangerous if the climatic conditions are unfavourable. The size of the Aussière S follows that of the ships. The pilots working either on a small boat, or at the edge of the quays are frequently in positions of precarious balance and this in a badly enlightened environment of night. The possible rupture of a hawser adds to this insecurity. The pilots are in contact radio operator VHF with the pilot on board.

On the St. Lawrence river starting from the city of Escoumins to the wearing of Montreal, piloting is carried out by the Pilots of the St. Lawrence. The pilot pilot, at the time of the operations of accosting or movements of the ship, is on board this one and communicates with the various speakers during the operation. Thus the pilot pilot will be in communication with the captains on board tug boats like with the stowers on the quay. In the area of Quebec during the winter, the operations are complicated by the presence of ice which is placed between the ship and the quay. A very great experiment is necessary to carry out this kind of operation.

  • the mooring belongs to the safety of the ship and thus of the harbor infrastructure, of the teams are thus available 24 hours a day.

  • Characteristic: during the transit of the Panama Canal two teams of pilots embark aboard ship and assist the crew. Indeed, at the time of the passage of the locks, the hawsers are not capelées with ground but in fact cables come from ground engines and is capelées on board.
