A001 - Marine Pilot Regulation
The Board of Pilotage Commissioners is a regulatory board appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, consisting of nine part-time members and two full-time staff. Marine pilots are trained, tested, licensed, and regulated by the board in order to provide efficient compulsory pilotage services, maintain a safe marine environment, and develop and encourage waterborne commerce for Washington State. The board annually sets tariffs which a pilot must charge for pilotage services performed aboard vessels; adopts rules and regulations; and may take disciplinary action against pilots and/or vessel owners who violate state pilotage laws.
