Pilots are present to bring ships safely to port. In Flanders, there are four types: the sea pilot, the coastal pilot, the river pilot, and the canal pilot. So, if you need to sail your large ship from the North Sea to the Antwerp docks, you'll have had three pilots on board: the sea pilot, the river pilot, and the dock pilot. The Antwerp Pilotage Service is now located on Thonetlaan, but they used to be here.
Next to the Pilotage Service building, there's a beautiful warehouse. From 1899 onward, the buoys were dismantled, maintained, and repaired here.

The Pilotage is a listed building located on the Tavernierkaai, on the so-called Eilandje, close to the Museum aan de Stroom, which has been used for temporary exhibitions since 2018.

Het Loodswezen is a building from 1895 in eclectic style. The majestic building watches over Willem and Bonaparte on the Eilandje. Now it is no longer functional for maritime shipping. Location can now be used for temporary exhibitions in a beautiful setting.
