The fee stated in schedule 6 , part 2 , division 1 is payable for each pilot other than an excluded pilot. Also, if a ship departs from a pilotage area and a pilot can not leave the ship after pilotage of the ships ends, an additional fee for the amount of the reasonable costs of returning the pilot to the pilotage area is payable, unless the pilot is not able to leave the ship because of something beyond the control of the ship’s master.
