EXPLANATORY NOTE
(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 has been extended to cover that area.
This Order accordingly extends the limits of jurisdiction of Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners for pilotage purposes under Part I of the Pilotage Act 1987 so as to include an area outside their harbour in respect of which the Commissioners consider that pilotage should be compulsory.
The applicants for this Order are the Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners.
The extended limits of jurisdiction for pilotage purposes are identified by means of a map marked "Londonderry Port and Harbour (Variation of Pilotage Limits) Order (Northern Ireland) 2002" which has been signed and sealed with reference to this Order and deposited at the office of the Department for Regional Development, Clarence Court, 10-18 Adelaide Street, Belfast BT2 8GB. Copies of the map have been deposited at Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners offices, Port Road, Lisahally, Londonderry, BT47 1FL, where they are available for inspection at any reasonable hour.
