Loodswezen is responsible for annually piloting more than 90.000 sea-going vessels to and from Dutch and Flemish seaports. Piloting of sea-going vessels continues 24 hours a day, under all weather conditions, and is carried out by approximately 450 registered pilots. Since 1998, Loodswezen has been an independent operation. Its pilots are, as independent professionals, the only ones authorised in the Netherlands to pilot sea-going vessels.
