RE: Harbor Pilots

From what I have seen here in Panama the pilots are very necessary.* With the number of ships, from*all over the world, going through the canal, I can't imagine the accidents that*would take place.* On the Panamax ships they may require up to*3 pilots as the ship transits*the canal,*one on the bow and one on each wing.* I'm not sure I would want to be the guy up front.* The*regular charged rate for a*Panama Canal pilot is*$2,410.*
