Pilotage

At Fremantle Pilots, our commitment to safe and efficient pilotage services is unwavering. Every pilotage is meticulously planned and executed in accordance with our Integrated Management System (IMS) and the Operational Parameters for the Port of Fremantle. These guidelines set the minimum requirements for shipping operations, encompassing towage, environmental considerations, and vessel specifications.

Expertise and Experience

Our team includes 15 unrestricted pilots, each equipped with extensive local and international pilotage expertise. Their proficiency ensures that we deliver reliable, top-notch services tailored to the unique needs of the Port of Fremantle.

Our team of pilots brings a wealth of experience, providing pilotage services for a diverse range of vessels. From routine operations to non-routine projects, we’ve successfully navigated everything from barges to towing disabled vessels. Additionally, we have collaborated seamlessly with the Royal Australian Navy to offer pilotage services to foreign and domestic naval vessels.

Reliability and Timeliness

Punctuality is paramount in delivering a safe and efficient pilotage service. Fremantle Pilots not only ensures the timely provision of pilots but also maintains a minimum of 5 pilots per day. Operating 24/7, 365 days a year, our certified IMS system and compliance service guarantee reflect our commitment to meeting scheduled demands with precision.
