Pilotage Office/Organization/Association


Explanation:
Depending on what exactly one has in mind: Lots is translated by pilot and if it's the system of having these people available (for example in a tricky estuary), one might want to use Pilotage Organization. If it is the actual building where these people wait for their next assignment (which in German and Dutch is also called Lotsenwesen, then one might want to cal it an Office. If it's those people's association....

Good luck!
