Vessel Description

The Daniel Pieter is a Dutch pilot vessel operated by the Loodswezen, the Netherlands' national pilotage authority. Built in 1988, the vessel is assigned to pilot transfer and station-keeping duties along the Dutch coast and major port approaches, most notably the Port of Rotterdam and the North Sea approaches via Hook of Holland. As a dedicated pilot vessel, her primary function is the safe transfer of maritime pilots to and from incoming and outgoing commercial vessels navigating Dutch waters. The vessel operates under the Dutch flag and maintains Class A AIS transmissions consistent with her operational role in high-traffic maritime zones.
