🔍 Key Concepts

• Master’s ultimate responsibility for the vessel’s safety • What a pilot’s role and authority actually are • Difference between advising and relieving the watch

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When a pilot comes on board, does the Master give up command of the vessel or keep it? • Think about why ships use pilots: What specific expertise are they bringing that the ship’s officers might not have? • Consider whether the pilot takes over the officer’s watchkeeping duties, or works alongside the bridge team.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify who legally remains in command of the vessel at all times. • Check whether the pilot’s job is to advise or to assume full responsibility for navigation. • Confirm whether an embarked pilot replaces the officer of the watch or supports the bridge team.
