Port Information - Pilotage

Pilotage is compulsory on arrival and for berthing, unberthing and shifting anchorage. Vessels at anchor may leave without pilot assistance. There are seven pilots supervised by the Pilotage Authority.

Pilots normally board vessels at a point one mile west of Europa Point. Pilots will also board those vessels making provisioning or crew transfer calls while slow steaming in the sheltered waters of the bay, allowing voyages to be resumed with a minimum of delay.
