Nice, France. June 23, 2024: The five-masted cruise ship Club Med 2, one of world's largest sailing vessels, before the harbor pilot boards the staysail schooner at sea to dock in old port. The Council of State, the supreme administrative jurisdiction, delivered a verdict definitively ruling out the legal nature of maritime pilotage as being "a fee for services rendered", following a request from Corsica Ferries to annul a decree regarding the costs of a pilot station in Corsica. Pilot compensation has always been controversial in many ports worldwide. Credit: Kevin Izorce/Alamy Live News
