11.(1) Every ship (other than an excepted ship) while navigating in a pilotage
district in which pilotage is compulsory for the purpose of entering, leaving,
or making use of any port in the district, and every ship carrying passengers

for the district who is bona fide acting as master or mate of the ship.

charge of the ship, the master of that ship shall be liable [on summary
conviction] in respect of each offence to a fine not exceeding double the
amount of the pilotage dues that [(disregarding any increase in the dues
attributable to failure to comply with the requirements of byelaws in force in
the district about requests for pilots) would have been payable in respect of
the ship if it had been under pilotage as so required].

(a)Ships belonging to His Majesty;
