Crescent RIver Port Pilots - Mississippi RIver - Flipbook - Page 12
Ship owners are required by law to hire State
commissioned pilots to mitigate the high risks
encountered when navigating foreign ships to
and from our port. This removes the economic
pressures that can compromise safety, and in
return puts the protection of the citizens and
assets of the State first, while providing safe
passage on the mighty Mississippi River.
