The master or an agent of a vessel requiring a pilot must give notice to port control the vessel’s Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at the Pilot Boarding Area (PBA) not less than 72 hours in advance of that time; re-confirm the vessel’s ETA not less than 24 hours (or immediately upon departing the last port if voyage is less than 24 hours) prior to arrival; and confirm ETA 4 hours prior to arrival at the PBA.

Vessels requiring a pilot to shift within port limits or depart from a port are required to submit a pilot request 4 hours prior to the pilot boarding time.

Upon boarding, the master and pilot exchange information regarding navigational procedures, local conditions and the ship’s characteristics including the pilot’s proposed passage plan.

Subject to the authority of the master of a ship, the duty of a pilot is to safely pilot the ship. The master of a ship is not relieved of his responsibility for the conduct and navigation of the ship by reason of the ship being under the charge of a pilot.

Pilot boats are used exclusively for transferring a pilot onto a vessel requiring pilot or disembarking from a vessel after rendering piloting service.
