The relationship between the bridge team and an employed pilot is primarily professional. The master has the ultimate responsibility for the safety of the ship; pilots are engaged to assist with navigation in confined waters, to facilitate port approach, berthing and departure. The master has the right and obligation to take over from the pilot in the event of the pilot`s inexperience and misjudgement.

When the pilot enters the bridge it is good practice for the master to make time for a brief discussion with a pilot. The master may need to delegate the con the OOW or other officer in order to discuss the intended passage with a pilot. Such discussion will include the following items; the pilot`s planned route, his anticipated speeds and ETAs both en route and at destination, what assistance he expects from the shore, such as tugs and VTS information and what contingencies he may have in mind.

For his part, the master needs to advise the pilot of the handling characteristics of his ship, in particular any unusual features and relevant information such as anchor condition, engine type and control, personnel availability. Much of this information can be readily available on a Master/Pilot exchange form.

Despite the presence of the pilot the master is still responsible for the safety of the ship. The ship’s progress needs to be monitored when the pilot has the con exactly as it has to be under any other conditions. Such monitoring needs to be carried out by the OOW and any deviations from the planned track or speed observed and the master made aware exactly as if he had the con. From such information the master will be in a position where he can question pilotage decisions with diplomacy and confidence.
