Definition
A person or device responsible for guiding a ship into a berth or dock, or assisting with docking procedures in a port.
Etymology
From 'berth' plus the agent suffix '-er,' indicating one who performs the action of berthing ships.
Kelly Says
Harbor pilots who berth massive ships are like three-dimensional chess players—they must account for wind, current, ship weight distribution, and dozens of other variables while making split-second decisions with millions of dollars of cargo at stake!
