Pilotage outwards is not compulsory, but the master of an outward-bound vessel can secure, at a small cost, the services of a pilot if he requires one.

Intercolonial traders are liable to the same charge for pilotage as foreign-going ships, unless the masters hold exemption certificates.

Harbour Dues.—For services performed by Harbourmaster: For each remove, ½d. per ton register, provided that the total amount for all or any one remove shall not exceed the sum of £7 10s.

Light Dues.—Light dues are paid by all intercolonial traders and foreign-going vessels: For each occasion of entering the Port of Hobart—Steamships, 4d. per ton register; sailing-ships, 6d. per ton register.

Charge upon Vessels not liable to pay Wharfage Rates.—For every intercolonial trader or foreign-going ship, for each occasion of entering the Port of Hobart, upon which passengers are landed, but upon which no goods liable to pay wharfage rates are landed from such vessel, a fee or charge of 3d. per ton register shall be paid to the Collector of Customs when entering the ship inwards at the Customhouse.

Exemptions.—All vessels calling for coal or supplies, anchored in the port, or coming alongside wharf, having passengers for another port and none for Hobart, the passengers are allowed to land without entailing any port charges upon the ship. All vessels arriving and sailing in ballast, or which do not break bulk, or only to such an extent as may be necessary to provide funds for repairs, coaling, refittings, or refreshments required by such vessels, are wholly exempted from the payment of all port charges, lighthouse dues, and all port dues whatsoever, except only those of pilotage, in cases where the service of a pilot has been actually required and received.
