(This note is not part of the Order)
By virtue of section 7(5) of the Pilotage Act 1987 a direction given by a competent harbour authority for the purpose of making pilotage compulsory for ships navigating in a specified area shall not apply to any area which is outside the Authority’s harbour unless the limits of jurisdiction of the Authority for pilotage purposes have been extended to cover that area.
This Order accordingly extends the limits of jurisdiction of the Portsmouth City Council for pilotage purposes under Part 1 of the Pilotage Act 1987 so as to include an area in respect of which the Council considers that pilotage should be compulsory. This area is directly adjacent to the existing area of jurisdiction as contained in the Portsmouth (Pilotage) Harbour Revision Order 1988 and is consequently an extension of that area.
The applicant for this Order is the Portsmouth City Council.
1964 c. 40 section 14 and Schedule 3 were amended by the Transport Act 1981 (c. 56), section 18 and Schedule 6.
