Louisiana River Pilots provide the
expertise necessary to mitigate the
inherent danger in moving mega
ships on the narrow and always
changing Mississippi River.
Louisiana’s master pilots have an intimate knowledge
of the Mississippi River through regular and rigorous
pilot training. This ensures safe voyages during
hazardous conditions such as blackout fog or
overbearing currents.
