Production process
Pilotage services involve the use of specialized knowledge and expertise to guide ships through narrow or hazardous waterways, such as harbors, rivers, or channels. Pilots, who are highly trained maritime professionals, board the vessels and provide navigational guidance to the ship's captain, taking into account factors like tides, currents, and weather conditions. Berthing services, on the other hand, involve the maneuvering and docking of ships at designated port facilities, ensuring the safe and efficient loading and unloading of cargo.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for pilotage and berthing services include specialized vessels, such as pilot boats, tugs, and mooring lines, as well as highly skilled personnel, including pilots, tugboat operators, and dockworkers. Additionally, the industry relies on port infrastructure, such as piers, docks, and navigational aids, as well as various support services, such as communication systems and traffic management.
