of Eemshaven
SINCE THE AUTUMN OF 2022, A TANKER CARRYING LNG (LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS) HAS BEEN CALLING AT EEMSHAVEN IN THE NORTHEAST OF THE NETHERLANDS EVERY FOUR TO FIVE DAYS. THESE VISITORS, DESIGNATED BY THE AUTHORITIES AS ‘EXTRAORDINARILY LARGE VESSELS’, ADD A NEW DIMENSION TO THE WORK OF THE PILOTS IN THE REGION NORTH. CHAIRMAN AND ACTIVE PILOT EDWARD KILIAN DISCUSSES THE EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS INVOLVED AND EXPLAINS THE DAY-TO-DAY PILOTAGE OF THESE SHIPS.
