As one of the only certified pilotage in polar regions, we are developing new standards for navigational safety service. Ensuring you a safe and effective operation.
Greenland pilot service
Your next pilotage in the arctic starts here
For passenger ships, subject to mandatory pilotage, two pilots will board the ship in the last port before Greenland and disembark the first port after Greenland.
For ships not subject to mandatory pilotage, we offer the option of boarding in Greenland. Depending on the destination, season and requirements according to the IMO polar code and Greenlandic legislation, one pilot may ensure compliance with all
requirements.
Feel free to contact us with your project. We look forward to providing our experience-based review and a competitive quote on your next pilotage
Please order your pilotage through your chosen shipping agent or directly from Greenland Pilot Service at least four weeks before arrival at the last port before Greenland.
You can contact our offices 24/7.
