The following information is about Pilot.

Pilot Defined

A person licensed to conduct a ship into and out of a port. Pilots (or "Harbour Pilots), familiar with the harbour's traffic, tides, currents, and channels, generally are employed to conduct ships to and from their pier or anchorage. Pilots are not members of the ship's company, but board the ship prior to arrival at port. On departure, once the ship has been conducted to open water, the pilot debarks the ship.

This definition is in context to Cruises. See more contextual defintions for Pilot.
