Most errors occur in the busy waters around ports where critical manoeuvres are carried out. For this reason, human pilotage is often required in harbours. Although pilots have extensive knowledge of the local waterways and they are generally expert ship-handlers, the sheer amount of traffic they have to handle on a daily basis, combined with an increasing number of often unforeseen circumstances, can lead to extra pressure and sometimes poor decision making.
