Pilotage Charges

Humber Pilotage Area
Pursuant to section 10 of the Pilotage Act 1987, Associated British Ports, as the Competent Harbour Authority for the Humber Pilotage Area, hereby make the following list of pilotage charges which shall come into operation on 1st January 2008.

Basis of Charges
Gross Tonnage
The basis of charges for the services of pilots and the boarding and landing fees shall be the Gross Tonnage (GT) as calculated under the provisions of the International Tonnage Convention (1969).

Associated British Ports reserves the right to add a surcharge to the charges payable, or to impose an assessment of Gross Tonnage for the payment of such charges for any vessel which has not been measured in accordance with the above Convention.

Segregated Ballast Tanks
In accordance with the European Council Regulation (EC) No. 2978/94, oil tankers equipped with segregated ballast tanks will receive a reduction on the gross tonnage-related charges in this tariff. In order to claim this reduction, the vessel must be able to produce an International Tonnage Certificate (1969) showing under "Remarks" that the vessel is equipped with the segregated ballast tanks.

A copy of the certificate must be furnished to the Humber Estuary Services, Billing Dept., Associated British Ports, PO Box 1, Port House, Northern Gateway, Hull, HU9 5PQ.

Upon production of the certificate, vessels will be charged on the reduced tonnage as stated under "Remarks" at the appropriate rate per GT.
