Getting a clear picture of pilotage: Neville profiles Houston port pilot and photographer, Lou Vest. Lou always carries a digital camera with him as he works as a pilot at the busiest port in the United States. The results, posted on his
Flickr page, are a fascinating record of his daily working life, as well as providing the bridge team’s perspective on handling ships in close quarters.
Slow down and save carbon: Neville reports on a meeting of the
Low Carbon Shipping group, an academic initiative looking at ways to reduce the industry’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Their latest research looks at the top five operational measures that the industry believes has the best potential in reducing fuel consumption; respondents cited weather routeing, fuel consumption monitoring and general speed reduction.
