PILOTAGE RATE REVIEW COMMITTEE

IN RE:     APPLICATION FOR PILOTAGE RATE

                INCREASE IN THE PORT OF PENSACOLA

_____________________________________________/

The Committee, therefore, determines that as of August 19, 2011, the rates of pilotage at the Port of Pensacola shall be INCREASED to the following:

1.     Per unit rate ¹ [1] of $2.00 per unit, 200 unit minimum;

2.     Draft charge, 16 ft. minimum, $25.00 per draft ft.;

3.     Docking/Undocking rates: less than 400 feet – $125,

        400 feet or greater – $175;

4.     Long Shifts/Port Docks/Navy Base Anchorage: Full Pilotage Fee;

5.     Anchoring/Leaving Anchorage: $100

¹ [1] The pilotage rates in Pensacola consists of a draft charge and a unit price fee structure which, in lieu of a gross tonnage charge, uses a box formula to determine a “ship unit”. A ship unit equals the length of the vessel multiplied by the width, divided by 100. (length x width ÷ 100 = ship unit).

6.     Detention: $50.00 per half hour, after the first half hour $100.00;

7.     Cancelled sailing after dispatch: $100;

8.     Vessel late on ETA at sea buoy: $50.00 per half hour, after the first half hour $100.00;

9.     Pilot carried to sea – $300 plus expenses;

10.   Shift at docks, Unit charge only.

Done and Ordered this 19th day of August, 2011.
