And that’s it for Brixham Pilots. The final vessels this evening were HYUNDAI GOODWILL and a very very rare visit to the pilot station for QUEEN ELIZABETH. Both photos taken from the pilot boat. Huge thanks to all at MTS for the 17 trips out over the last 3 weeks. #brixhampilots

Potentially the final vessel to pilot at Brixham in daytime with MTS was PATRIOTIC, she is currently underway from Ingleside to Wilhelmshaven and boarded a deep sea pilot off Berry Head this afternoon. Owned by Admiral Marine and Managed by Nereus Shipping S.A #brixhampilots

A great weekend out on the pilot boat. Delivered stores to OLYMPIC LIFE, landed pilots from NYK VESTA and NYK RUMINA and boarded one to FELICITY ACE. #FoundONE #VLCC #CarCarrier #ContainerShips #BrixhamPilots #shipspotting #shipspotter

ONE SWAN boarding a #deepseapilot off #BerryHead on Saturday bound for Rotterdam from Colombo on the FP2. This is the first time for her at Brixham after being renamed and repainted. She will land the pilot back at Brixham in just under 3 weeks time

Face to face with this giant this afternoon. ASCONA owned by Neda Maritime Agency Co. Ltd, Greece landing a deep sea pilot at Brixham in ballast bound for US GOLA. Been busy over the last month so haven't been able to get out for much. #vlcc #nedamaritime #shipspotting #berryhead

@218goldcoast They are, some of the 143's went to heritage railways whilst others were sent to Landore I believe for scrapping. 143617 and 143618 were the final 2 in service due to problems with getting these Turbo's ready for service out Exeter TMD if I remember correctly

@ONENorthAmerica @ONE_LINE_JAPAN Panama Canal - Seen at Brixham boarding a deep sea pilot for Rotterdam on her final trip on the FE3 service before shifting to the EC2 with Wren and Apus

@218goldcoast Shame this doesn't happen too often, was hoping Lena River would anchor however was expecting her to go to Falmouth

[SW Ship Photography @YN63_BXC]

@218goldcoast Now it's HMM RAON's turn until the 10th need to find someone who's going out to her for some close up shots like I got of ONE FALCON

[SW Ship Photography @YN63_BXC]

@skmpub Going to replace the 3 B9's which are in use on the Falcon due to the clean air zone in Bristol

[SW Ship Photography @YN63_BXC]

@218goldcoast Next time we see her she should have a new scrubber fitted - next year I think they are all due for a dry dock and will be painted magenta into ONE colours

[SW Ship Photography @YN63_BXC]

@218goldcoast Just found out she's on charter to ONE so that would be the reason behind her coming here, if she wasn't on charter then I doubt she would've come here for a pilot

[SW Ship Photography @YN63_BXC]

@218goldcoast Would be nice if she landed a pilot too - didn't bother as typically with any pass around this time the conditions are far from favourable

[SW Ship Photography @YN63_BXC]

@218goldcoast A strange scrubber on her - look out for YAKUMOSAN (MOL VLCC) coming up as that could board here for Hound Point

[SW Ship Photography @YN63_BXC]

Shortly before HMM HANBADA landed her pilot NYK NEBULA and FELICITY ACE landed theirs. Not too often we see a 3 in 1 pilot job done here. #mitsuiosklines #nyklinejapan #brixhampilots #brixham

HMM HANBADA landing her deep sea pilot this afternoon at Brixham in rather grim conditions. Underway from Antwerp to Algeciras. Photos taken from Battery Gardens - was going to be worth the walk up to Berry Head. #ships #brixhampilots #hmmhanbada #hyundaimerchantmarine #brixham
