Deep Sea and Coastal Pilots

We provide Trinity House licensed Deep Sea Pilotage services in the English Channel and North Sea. Deep Sea Pilotage provides vessels and owners with increased safety whilst navigating some of the busiest, high risk and most navigationally complex waterways in the world. This brings about benefits through increased safety, fatigue and time management, expert passage planning resulting in cost savings through reduced bunkers, and important knowledge transfer to crews and masters to enhance their experience and understanding in these waters. We can board on approach to the English Channel off Brixham or Cherbourg via launch, or off Skagen when vessels approach from the Baltic. We are also able to arrange for our pilots to join at any NW European port whilst the vessel is alongside. We also provide navigational audit services, which can be done in tandem with Deep Sea Pilotage, and offer pilot services through traffic management/pilot VTS to the gas and wind sectors in the offshore market. This service aims to provide additional safety during wind farm construction or seismic surveys, especially in areas of high traffic density. Our pilots' knowledge of these waters gives important input to projects whilst bringing about greatly reduced project lead times and cost savings, as well as less risk of damaged equipment.
