Every day, San Francisco bar pilot Captain Zach Kellerman goes through what might just be the world's most dangerous commute.
SAN FRANCISCO BAY -- Every day, Captain Zach Kellerman goes through what might just be the world's most dangerous commute.
At San Francisco's Pier 9, Kellerman boards a small boat that will take him to the Port of Oakland. There, he'll climb-- bound for Hawaii -- and guide it into the open sea. They went mostly unnoticed until the pandemic when supply chain disruptions caused an epic traffic jam of ships around the Bay. The bar pilots were the ones to get it moving again.
"The ship is built specifically for the Hawaiian trade," Washburn said."They need their goods right away and if we're late, their stores are empty."
