PILOTAGE ACT 1913 - SECT 30



30.(1) A pilot licensed for a district may supersede any pilot not so licensed
who is employed to pilot a ship in the district.

(2) Where a licensed pilot supersedes an unlicensed pilot the master of the
ship shall pay to the latter [an appropriate proportion of the pilotage dues
payable in respect of the ship].

Any question as to the proportion payable ... to the person whom the licensed
pilot has superseded shall be referred to the pilotage authority by whom the
licensed pilot has been licensed, and their decision on the question shall be
final.

(3) If in any pilotage district a pilot not licensed for the district pilots
or attempts to pilot a ship [when he knows that] a pilot licensed for that
district has offered to pilot the ship, he shall be liable in respect of each
offence to a fine not exceeding [five hundred pounds].

(4) If the master of a ship knowingly employs or continues to employ a pilot
not licensed for the district to pilot the ship within any pilotage district
after a pilot licensed for that district has offered to pilot the ship, or, in
the case of an outward bound ship, without having taken reasonable steps
(proof whereof shall lie on the master) to obtain a licensed pilot, he shall
be liable in respect of each offence to a fine not exceeding [five hundred
pounds].

(5) If any person other than the master or a seaman being bona fide one of the
crew of the ship is on the bridge of a ship, or in any other position (whether
on board the ship or elsewhere) from which the ship is navigated, that person
shall, for the purposes of this section, shall be deemed to be piloting the
ship unless the contrary is proved.
