Every day, some of the biggest vessels in the world weave their way in and out of the ports across the south, but how do they navigate the busy waters without incident? BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley spent a day with ABP Pilot Martin Phipps as he brought a 320 metre long container ship into Southampton. In part three, they are on the bridge of APL Finland, navigating the turn from The Solent into Southampton Water.
