Unlike generic port management systems adapted for pilotage,<\/p>\n

PilotControl was designed from the ground up around the realities of pilot work \u2014 the personal liability, the timing pressure, the qualification complexity, and the administrative burden that consumes time that should be spent on the water. Tidalis has been building software for pilot organisations since 1985.

Key features & Capabilities<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”fs-16″]PilotControl is built around the three people who carry pilotage operations: the dispatcher, the pilot, and the finance team. Every feature exists to remove friction for one of them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”0″ constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_margin=”0″ top_margin_tablet=”0″ constrain_group_3=”yes” bottom_margin_tablet=”0″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” height_desktop=”0″ content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-sm-offset-0″][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”48px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”fs-16″]\n

Compliant scheduling<\/h3>\n

Pilot assignments are planned automatically around each pilot’s qualifications, certifications, and mandatory rest-hour rules \u2014 without manual checks or spreadsheet workarounds. When a vessel schedule changes (and they always do), PilotControl adjusts available pilot assignments instantly, giving dispatchers a clear picture of who can take the next job without compliance risk.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”48px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”fs-16″]\n

Real-time dispatch visibility<\/h3>\n

Dispatchers see every pilot’s status, location, and availability in real time. Assignment changes, vessel schedule updates, and service confirmations are reflected immediately across the system \u2014 so dispatchers manage exceptions rather than chase information.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”48px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”fs-16″]\n

Mobile-first access for pilots<\/h3>\n

Pilots receive assignment details, vessel particulars, tidal data, and berth information directly on their mobile device \u2014 before they step onto the launch. They can report status, log observations, and confirm completion from any device, without calling into the office. PilotControl puts the right information in a pilot’s hands at the moment they need it, not after.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”48px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”fs-16″]\n

Instant and accurate invoicing<\/h3>\n

Invoices are generated automatically upon assignment completion, applying the correct tariffs, contractual discounts, and billing rules without manual reconciliation. Complex tariff structures, multi-currency billing, and port-specific rules are handled by the system, not by a finance team working from notes.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”48px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”fs-16″]\n

Safety Observation Tool<\/h3>\n

PilotControl includes a free-to-use web portal where pilots log safety observations after each assignment. From water conditions, navigational hazards, berth changes, or vessel behaviour all for the benefit of the next pilot on the same route. It builds institutional knowledge that stays in the organisation rather than walking out the door with each shift change.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”48px”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”fs-16″]\n

Integration with PortControl and MaritimeControl<\/h3>\n

PilotControl connects directly to PortControl for live vessel schedule data and shared invoicing, and to MaritimeControl for real-time vessel tracking. Dispatchers work from the same operational picture as the harbour master and the VTS operator \u2014 so pilot planning reflects what is actually happening in the port, not what was planned two hours ago.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”48px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50px” top_margin=”0″ constrain_group_7=”yes” bottom_margin=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column bottom_padding_desktop=”20px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

The result is scheduling tools that ignore rest-hour rules, billing that requires manual reconciliation, and no mobile capability for pilots in the field.<\/p>\n

PilotControl is the only pilot management platform built from the ground up for pilotage organisations, not adapted from a broader port system. Forty years of Klein Systems Group’s specialisation in pilot planning and port billing created a depth of functionality, particularly in rest-hour compliance, qualification management, and pilot-specific billing which generic PMIS vendors treat as secondary features and newer SaaS entrants have not had time to build.<\/p>\n

It replaces manual processes \u2014 phone calls, whiteboards, spreadsheets \u2014 with a system that tracks pilot availability, qualifications, and rest-hour status in real time, assigns pilots to vessels automatically within compliance rules, and generates invoices upon completion. For pilot organisations handling multiple simultaneous assignments across a busy port, dispatching software is the operational backbone that keeps every assignment compliant, every pilot informed, and every invoice accurate.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”What are maritime pilot rest-hour rules and why do they matter?” before_title=”02″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Marine pilots are subject to mandatory rest-hour regulations that determine the minimum time between assignments. These rules exist because pilotage is a high-consequence task \u2014 a fatigued pilot conducting a complex berthing manoeuvre creates real navigational risk. Compliance is a legal requirement in most jurisdictions, and breach carries liability for the pilot and the organisation. PilotControl enforces rest-hour rules automatically at the scheduling stage, preventing non-compliant assignments from being made rather than flagging violations after the fact.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”Can PilotControl work for an independent pilot association without a port management system?” before_title=”03″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Yes. PilotControl operates as a standalone platform for independent pilot associations that are not connected to a port authority system. It manages the full operational and financial cycle of a pilot association \u2014 scheduling, dispatch, qualification records, billing, and reporting \u2014 independently. For associations that later need to connect to a port’s PortControl environment, that integration is available without replacing the existing PilotControl setup.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”How does PilotControl handle complex pilot tariffs and billing?” before_title=”04″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Pilot tariffs are among the most complex billing structures in the maritime industry \u2014 varying by vessel type, gross tonnage, draft, time of day, service duration, and contractual terms. PilotControl applies the correct tariff rules automatically upon assignment completion, generating accurate invoices without manual calculation or reconciliation. Conditional discounts, multi-currency billing, and port-specific pricing schedules are all handled natively within the system.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”What is the difference between PilotControl and PortControl?” before_title=”05″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]PilotControl is Tidalis’s dedicated platform for marine pilot organisations \u2014 focused specifically on pilot scheduling, rest-hour compliance, dispatch management, mobile pilot access, and pilot billing. PortControl<\/a> is the full port management information system (PMIS) covering the broader port operation: vessel scheduling, berth planning, resource management, port dues, and invoicing across all port services. PilotControl is available as a standalone solution for independent pilot associations, and as an integrated module within PortControl for port-employed pilot services.[\/vc_column_text][\/custom_toggle_item][custom_toggle_item title=”Which pilot organizations use PilotControl?” before_title=”06″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]PilotControl is deployed across pilot organisations and port authorities worldwide. Named customers include Hamburg Harbour Pilots Association, Flinders Ports, and Townsville Pilots.
