BC Coast Pilots

WE HAVE PILOTED ALL KINDS OF VESSELS IN AND OUT OF B.C.’S HARBOURS from small pleasure crafts to the largest cruise ships in the world.

Pleasure craft Container ship Cruise ship

B.C. Pilots have been in the business of keeping 15,000 miles of the province’s waters safe since the mid-1800’s and have an exceptional safety record and provide independent service to every company across the shipping industry.

The future of pilotageB.C.’s economy is dynamic and we are dedicated environmental stewards of the B.C. coast and inland waters.

We consult on practices to maintain the highest standards when it comes to tanker management, spill prevention and response, protecting whales and developing new technologies.

In the foreseeable future, our coast will be impacted by:

A Vessel size increases:

B New marine landscape with upcoming projects:

In the homes of the southern resident killer whales and protecting their environment.

C Responsibly operating:

We make use of every available navigational tool and we even created our own.

Every pilot carries a Portable Pilot Unit which are tailored for the unique pilotage conditions on the B.C. coast.
