Loodswezen Vlissingen NL (Pilots)

Some videoclips of the pilot boats in Vlissingen.
These pilot boats will bring the pilots to the merchant ships helping them pass through the Westerschelde safely and smoothly. The Westerschelde connects the ports of Antwerp, Vlissingen, Ghent and Terneuzen with the North Sea.

Always a SHOW OFF, or TWO! Great Job, gents.

[@davemccarthy9433]

Because they can ~!~

[@charlesford8786]

from a old commercial fisherman in the US, very slick with the two boats. bow thrusters make everyone look good, but these skippers are very good.

[@skittlyscooter1779]

these boats aint got bow thrusters, they use water jets, this means you can go abeam without any bowthruster.

[@gfimadcat]

No bow thrusters on these, water jets with differential thrust and a lot of practice :)

[@fredtedstedman]

great bit of filming ! Nice to get close to the boats , in our country everything seems to be either fenced-off or locked-up ! Wales UK.

I love the key on top for winding up the clockwork.

[@josephinebennington7247]

I’ll never be able to look at a radar scanner again, without thinking of this quip. Not sure I’m elated about that.....😬

[@tomburton8239]

Vlissingen, known as Flushing in old-English: the gateway to the Netherlands in medieval times. And in those days, King’s Lynn was the greatest port in England, and the Hanseatic League was the great trading network

dit is echt mooi om te zien

[@hansboersma4354]

Some very good boat handling sailors. I’d feel comfortable having you maneuvering my boat anytime.

[@tomthompson7400]

nice bit of boat handling that first boat in is so sweet.

[@BoateronTour]

One is a nice place where you can watch the pilot boats that are constantly sailing in and out. Lots of action.

Daar is geen plaasvervanger vir ondervinding en vernuftheid nie. Dis maar so. Ent van die prent!

[@JoseSantos-yb7ru]

Quero deixar aqui o meu profundo agradecimento aos pilotos de todo o mundo, não só nos guiam nas horas boas e más como já ajudaram a salvar barcos e vidas, obrigado.

[@lexbrukman7538]

ikke was eerst, nee ikke, ga jij daar maar liggen dan en de loods weet niet hoe snel die er van af moet komen....

[@andrewp3456]

Sweet handling....although to be fair these are presumably equipped with pretty powerful bow and stern thrusters, but enjoyable to watch nonetheless!

[@lucvannieuwenhuijzen496]

nope no bow or stern trusters the red boats hav twin propellors and the yellow ones are jet propulsion

[@andrewp3456]

@@lucvannieuwenhuijzen496 Ah yes, thanks for the reply. Watching back i can see clearly there's no bow thruster at all! lol! Even more impressive!

[@michaelschuckart2217]

@@lucvannieuwenhuijzen496 Yes I thought so, you couldn't swivel like that without jet.

Als Kind durfte ich einmal abends im Dunkeln mit einem dieser Boote mitfahren. Es war ein Erlebnis. Wir haben einfach gefragt und sie haben uns mit 6 Personen mitgenommen. Unterwegs wurde uns alles erklärt, die Arbeit und das Schiff. Ob das heute noch möglich wäre?

[@MariaManuelaRoseira-dl5nk]

Fantástico.
