Les pilotes de l’Escaut rejettent la suppression partielle du pilotage obligatoire L’association professionnelle des pilotes maritimes BVL (Beroepsvereniging van Loodsen) rejette catégoriquement la proposition du gouvernement flamand visant à exempter du pilotage obligatoire les navires de mer ne dépassant pas une certaine taille. Dans une première phase, les unités maritimes d’une longueur inférieure à 80 mètres seraient exemptées du pilotage obligatoire. Dans une deuxième phase, la longueur des navires exemptés serait portée à 90 mètres. Les pilotes estiment que cette mesure compromettra la sécurité de la navigation sur l’Escaut. Ils regrettent en outre qu’ils n’ont pas été consultés en la matière.
