This month, we highlight a sample of the many ship types our harbor pilots navigate safely in and out of our seaports.

    Last year, more than 27,000 ship movements were handled by Floridas harbor pilots. While Florida is home to the
    worlds top three cruise ports, the vast majority of those ship movements are cargo ships, oil tankers, chemical tankers,
    container ships, general cargo ships carrying specialized equipment, such as massive wind turbine blades or railroads
    locomotives, and dry bulk ships carrying limestone, phosphate, rock, sugar and cement. This month, we highlight a

    BISCAYNE BAY PILOTS ASSOCIATION NAVIGATES USNS COMFORT INTO PORTMIAMI


    The U.S. Navy called upon the Biscayne Bay Pilots Association (BBPA) to navigate the hospital ship USNS Comfort
    into PortMiami on Saturday, April 4, 2015.
    This steam-powered Navy ship is a converted oil tanker, now serving as a floating hospital, carrying more than 800
    uniformed military officers and 60 civilian mariners. In addition to navigating the ship in and out of the port, the
    Biscayne Bay Pilots, in advance of the arrival, were responsible for arranging the ships safe passage in between several
    massive cruise liners and post-panama container ships on a busy weekend.
