They need to have a pilot aboard when underway in the entire Great Lakes/Seaway system. Every salty you see anywhere has one onboard unless it is moored or at anchor.
I thought it was only in rivers?

Do the river pilots get paid hourly [when they're working as to not working] or for the entire time on the ship? TIA

Do foreign vessels need pilots in lakes or just in rivers?
