📹 (warning: rocky footage!) Last week, Ports Australia had the privilege of visiting our valued members Port Phillip Sea Pilots Pty Ltd in Queenscliffe, Victoria. This incredible organisation is responsible for the safe navigation of large vessels to some of Victoria’s key trading #ports. Yvonne Kaloterakis and Zara Bryan took an inside look at their operations and rode along on a pilot transfer, also called a “step across”. Did you know that Port Philip Sea Pilots… 👉 have over 180 years of experience in marine pilotage? 👉 operate 24/7 and on demand? 👉 guide vessels carrying billions of dollars worth of goods each year? 👉 play a crucial role in Victoria's $111bn trade economy? It was truly inspiring to learn about their dedication to safety, efficiency and environmental sustainability, championed by the pilots and crew at Port Philip Sea Pilots. Thank you to CEO Thorsten Werges, coxswain Michael Randall and deckhand Dean Mitchell for the adventure! 🛥️ #ports #maritime #seapilots #trade #shipping #logistics #australia #auseconomy
Good to see a professional pilot transfer as always PPSP is ahead of the game
Congratulations!
Dear Yvonne, dear Zara, we thank you for your time and your interest to experience first-hand what it means to operate in one of the most treacherous waters, ensuring the safe and reliable transport of goods into and out of Victoria. Just imagine how many presents are on board of these ships, and what it means to us helping to put big smiles on kids faces when they unwrap these presents on Christmas Eve. Together with Ports Australia, our customers, Port Authorities, stakeholders, supply chain partners, and our entire team, we take pride in making this happen. Dear Mike Gallagher, thanks for the initiative, we also look forward to welcoming you next time.
