MINIMUM NUMBER OF LICENSED PILOTS OR HOLDERS OF PILOTAGE CERTIFICATES

 The minimum number of licensed pilots or holders of pilotage certificates that shall be on board ship at any time is one, except where the Authority is of opinion that, due to the conditions or nature of the voyage, the ship requires more than one person to perform pilotage duties on the ship, in which case the minimum number is two.

FURTHER TRAINING

 Where a licence or pilotage certificate is suspended by the Authority pursuant to paragraph 17(4)(b) of the Act, the holder of the licence or pilotage certificate shall, if he wishes to have his licence or certificate reinstated, take such further training as will enable him to meet the qualifications prescribed in paragraphs 14(1)(j), (k) and (l) of these Regulations.

 Where a person who holds a pilotage certificate is unable to meet the qualification under paragraph 14(2)(a), he shall be required to take further training to ensure that his knowledge of the pilotage area in respect of which his certificate is in force, is adequate.

    every holder of a licence or pilotage certificate who was performing pilotage duties on that ship shall immediately report to the Authority by the fastest means available all known details of the incident including any pollution or threat of pollution.
