Crew responsibilities before, during, and after a pilot boards your ship
QUICK ANSWER: VESSEL RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN TAKING A PILOT
Before the pilot boards:
• Update the passage plan for pilotage waters and brief the bridge team
• Complete the pilot card in IMO standard format with all defects noted
• Rig the pilot boarding arrangement per SOLAS regulation V/23
• Set up VHF communications with pilot, VTS and port authorities
At boarding and MPX:
• Be ready at the agreed time — late boarding cuts time for the exchange
• Carry out a full Master/pilot information exchange (MPX) immediately
• Confirm working language, agree passage plan changes, share ship defects
• Discuss contingency plans and abort points before starting the passage
During pilotage:
► The pilot directs navigation — the bridge team monitors and supports
► Master retains ultimate responsibility for ship safety at all times

From mentorship, global internships and the chance to explore different roles, this MaritimeONE scholar has gained insights she never expected to acquire
For the longest time, it was history and literature that captivated Fatimah Zahra Ebnuarabi, who thought she would find her future in words, not ships.
It was a conversation with her elder brother that first steered her towards the maritime industry. It felt distant – a world associated with vessels, voyages and complex operations.
“I thought maritime was too specialised,” admits the 22-year-old.

La Constitución señala que la zona marítimo-terrestre, las playas, las aguas interiores, el mar territorial y los recursos naturales de la zona económica y la plataforma continental son bienes del DPMT, y la Ley de Costas precisa estos conceptos.
Bienes tan valiosos y anhelados por todos como las playas, las dunas, los escarpes, las bermas, los acantilados, las marismas, los humedales litorales, etc, son de DPMT, tanto para su protección, como para su garantía de disfrute público.
Todos debemos tener garantizado el derecho de disfrute de estos bienes del DPMT eso sí, con usos adecuados, que ni comprometan su integridad

QUICK ANSWER: PROPELLER SLIP AT A GLANCE
What is slip?
• The difference between how far a propeller should move forward per revolution and how far it actually does
• Because water yields and accelerates aft, the propeller never fully converts each turn into forward motion
• There are two types: apparent slip (based on ship speed) and real slip (based on the actual water speed arriving at the propeller)
• At a quay trial with zero ship speed, both slip ratios equal 1.0 — meaning 100% slip
Why it matters:
• Slip is a direct indicator of propeller load — the higher the slip, the higher the load
• Rising slip means the engine works harder for the same speed, burning more fuel
• Uncontrolled
