PILOTAGE
Vessels which are tugged are compulsory to hire pilotage, according to notification of use of pilotage, as well as tankers, chemical tankers and gas tankers according to the Pilotage Act.
Vessels, whose captain is not familiar with the conditions, are advised to take on a pilot or obtain information from the Port Control about such conditions before arrival or departure. It is particularly important to note that easterly winds can result in low water levels of down to -0.8m, which is why it is particularly important to use a pilot during these weather conditions or to obtain information from Port Control about the up-to-the-minute conditions.
Dan Pilot handles pilotage service at Port of Frederikshavn.
