sec.164 Transfer of pilot to ship

A harbour master for a pilotage area may decide, at the harbour master’s sole discretion, which of the following ways a pilot is to be transferred to or from a ship for the pilot’s operations in the pilotage area— by a pilot ship flying the appropriate distinguishing flag or showing the appropriate distinguishing lights; by a helicopter that lands on the ship or from which the pilot is raised or lowered by winch. The master of a ship to or from which a pilot is to be transferred must give a harbour master for the pilotage area in which the pilot is to be transferred all information necessary to determine the suitability of the ship for transferring the pilot by a helicopter. Maximum penalty—50 penalty units. When a pilot is transferring to or from a ship or conducting a ship as its pilot, the master of the ship must comply with— the following— if the pilot is transferred to or from a ship by a pilot ship— Marine Order 21 (Safety and emergency arrangements) 2016 (Cwlth) , section 12 ; if the pilot is transferred to or from a ship by a helicopter— Marine Order 57 (Helicopter operations) 2016 (Cwlth) ; and any reasonable directions of the master of the pilot ship, or person in charge of the helicopter, from which the pilot is being transferred, about safely transferring the pilot to or from the ship; and the pilot’s reasonable directions about the pilot’s personal safety. Maximum penalty—200 penalty units.
