Binnacle Passage · Columbia River Bar
One association, one board. The order comes in, the tide says how deep she can load, the rotation decides who's up — fairly — the rule says whether that pilot is fit, and the boat crew works it from the phone. Every move is visible to dispatch. This is the same engine behind the live vessel boards; here it's running on sample data you can click.
Configured for Columbia River Bar. Interactive — confirm orders, advance phases, change the equity window. Nothing is saved; it's representative sample data.
Agents request a pilot; dispatch confirms, assigns from the rotation, and converts to a live transit — no phone tag, no fax.
“Reefer plugs requested at berth.”
“Loaded — confirm tidal window before assignment.”
“ULCV — two tugs minimum per standing order.”
“Daylight-only transit per COTP; coordinate escort.”
Squat, under-keel clearance, and the tidal window in one view. The deeper she loads, the more cargo — up to the moment the bottom says stop. Same squat & tide-window math the dispatch board runs.
Max safe speed at this draft: 13.4 kn
On the 04:26 PM high water she can sail 180 cm deeper — about 1,131 TEU (~15,840 t) more, at full 1.5 m clearance.
Max safe draft at HW 14.00 m vs your 12.2 m · TPC 88 t/cm.
The #1 dispute in any association: are the turns — and the lucrative jobs — shared fairly? Same engine the dispatch board runs, live over the window you pick.
Owed score weighs turns behind fair share, dollars behind fair share, and time waiting. Highest owed gets the next job — the rotation defends itself.
Dispatch can't assign a pilot the rules say is unfit. Hours derive from each pilot's own assignments — boarding an exhausted pilot is how careers and ships end.
The boat crew and the pilot work one card from the phone — tap to advance the pilotage phase. Dispatch sees every move in real time.
Every transit seals into one immutable, timestamped record — the exchange, the chain of custody, the boarding check, conditions, and any incident. When a loaded ship touches a dock, this is what protects the pilot.
