Laurentian Pilotage Tariff Regulations

9 (1) For the purposes of determining if a pilotage charge for the detention of a pilot, as described in item 6 of Schedule 2, is payable, a pilot is detained if

• (a) the pilot is waiting at a pilot boarding station because of a mechanical breakdown or another reason related to the operation of the ship; or

• (b) the pilot is on board a ship that is

  • (i) at anchorage, at a wharf or at a pier,

  • (ii) unable to move on account of ice or for any other reason,

  • (iii) compelled to remain stopped as a result of a mechanical breakdown, or

  • (iv) waiting for a berth at the end of a trip.

(2) When the pilot is detained for more than one hour, the fees set out in item 6 of Schedule 2 for each subsequent hour are reduced by half if the detention is caused by a berthing, an anchoring, ice conditions that force the ship to stop, weather conditions, a change in the expected time of arrival of the ship, delays associated with pilot boat services, a shortage of pilots, delays at dock or at anchor as a result of maritime traffic management by the competent authorities, or the grounding of the ship.
