Pilot station
This is where Szczecin’s welcoming spirit begins.
WELCOMES WITH TRADITION
Szczecin is one of the few European ports to welcome its arriving guests with a ceremonial banner salute.
This ceremony is a beautiful, though increasingly rare, gesture these days. In 2007, the city decided to make it a permanent part of its protocol again and spread this tradition.
Each vessel passing through the Pilot Station is greeted with the sound signal and the national anthem. In the case of Navy vessels, the welcome ceremony is additionally accompanied by soldiers.
One thing is certain, the ceremony at the Pilot Station remains in the memory of our guests for a long time.
