Northeast Marine Pilots (NEMP) serves vessels to
and from ports in the southern New England region, including New Bedford and
other points in Buzzards Bay, Cape Cod and the Islands, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, and New York. The pilots routinely handle all types and tonnages
of vessels. Pilots take the conn when the vessel is boarded upon arrival at the
pilot station (the seaward beginning of transit) through inland and coastal
routes to the final port destination and intended berth. Pilots serve as the
vessel's docking masters upon arrival at the port and when at the berth
and conduct docking maneuvers both with and without tugs. NEMP utilizes
state-of-the-art Long Range VHF Communications, allowing direct and continuous
contact between the vessel and the pilot station from six to eight hours prior
to arrival. The pilot station for the Port of New Bedford is located at
Latitude 41° - 30.8 N, Longitude 70° - 50.1 W.
