Since 1919, Houston pilots have maneuvered vessels safely and efficiently to and from docks via the narrow and congested Houston Ship Channel. We are a team of expert ship handlers commissioned by the State of Texas, supported by administrative and operational professionals to protect Houston's waterway, including its people, ports, and industry. We operate 24-hours a day, 365 days per year, in continuously varying weather and port conditions.

Wonderful “fireside chat” on adapting to increasing social media and news presence within the shipping industry. Christopher Aversano used his adept skills as host of the Official Podcast of the Conference, The Last Dinosaur - Maritime Shipping In the Digital Age, with Matthew Glass of Houston Pilots and Jonathan Chia of MTI Network.

Congratulations Captain Hickman!
We are honored to present Captain Sherri Hickman from the Houston Pilots with a 2024 East End Legend Award! This award is presented to a leader or company who has significantly demonstrated a history of dedication to the East End. Captain Hickman became the first female pilot to join the Houston Pilots in 1994, where she has proudly served for 30 years. Before joining the Houston Pilots, she spent nine years sailing on oil tankers worldwide and served as the first female Master to sail for Keystone Shipping Company. We invite you to join us as we celebrate Captain Hickman at the 2024 Awards & Scholarship Celebration on Friday November 15, 2024, 5:30 PM - 11:00 PM, at the Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport, 9100 Gulf Fwy., Houston, TX 77017.

We are proud to watch our Blue Water Scholarship recipients soar into their fall semesters. Scholarship recipient Texas A&M Cadet Luke Andrews-Tezza had the opportunity to intern with us and catch a ride with his mentor Captain Curtis Laskowski. He will graduate in December and join the ranks in the maritime industry as a licensed officer. Texas A&M Cadet Cole Young, also a scholarship recipient, is being mentored by Captain Nicholas Moraski. Cole also interned with the Houston Pilots this summer. Great job guys! We look forward to watching you succeed! Texas A&M University Galveston Campus #shippilots #maritime #texasa&m #scholarship #education #nautical #futuresuccess
