Wanganui Rates of Pilotage.

Superintendent's Office,
Wellington, August 1, 1864.

I, ISAAC EARL FEATHERSTON, Superintendent of the Province of Wellington, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the 12th clause of "The Marine Board Act, 1863," do hereby fix the following as the Pilotage Rates which shall be payable at the port of Wellington, also the nature of the service for which such rates shall be payable, the time of payment, and the amount to be paid for detention of Pilots on board vessels under Quarantine or otherwise:—

The rates of pilotage into or out of the Port of Wellington, from or to the distance of one league from the Pilot Station, are as follows, viz.:—

Vessels under 200 tons, 4d. per ton
Ditto 200 to 300 tons, 3½d. “
Ditto 300 to 400 tons, 3d. “
Ditto 400 to 600 tons, 2½d. “
Ditto 600 and upwards, 2d. “

But no pilotage is to be chargeable on any vessel engaged in the Coasting trade, unless the assistance of a Pilot be required by the Master of the Vessel.

All Vessels trading to or from the neighbouring Colonies shall be exempted from taking a Pilot, upon paying one-half the usual rate of pilotage, whatever that may be; if a Pilot is taken, however, full pilotage to be paid.

All Vessels under 100 tons, trading from or to the neighbouring Colonies shall, upon the Master proving himself qualified, be furnished with a certificate of exemption from pilotage, but shall in lieu thereof pay one full pilotage inwards and outwards per annum.

Every Master so qualified and exempted shall, on approaching the Harbour within two leagues, hoist a white flag at the main, showing his exemption, or forfeit a sum not exceeding the full pilotage.

Every Pilot detained on board a Vessel longer than forty-eight hours, whether by stress of weather, quarantine, or otherwise, is to be paid eight shillings per day, in addition to the regular pilotage.

All pilotage shall be payable when the papers of the vessel are deposited at the Custom-house, for her clearance.
