Don’t know if Aberdeen is same today, but always used to wonder how in and out had to take a pilot, but once in could shift ship around the harbour ad lib with permission from port control channel 12 vhf. When shifting had to be on best behaviour as knew they were watching from the office windows in Seaforth. Cheers JWS.
