Interpretation

  • “"Devolved pilotage”” means pilotage that —

      relates to a harbour wholly in Wales that is not a reserved trust port, and

    2. b

      is provided in a pilotage jurisdiction that does not extend beyond Wales.

  • “"Pilotage jurisdiction”” means an area in relation to which the duty of a competent harbour authority under section 2(1) of the Pilotage Act 1987 is exercisable.

  • “"Reserved trust port”” has the meaning given by section 32 of the Wales Act 2017.
