Section 173.1 - Rates of pilotage; computation For services rendered on and after January 1, 1990, retroactively, the rates of pilotage for conducting a vessel from the Capes of the Delaware to a place on the Delaware River or Bay no further upriver than the Delair Railroad Bridge between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Delair, New Jersey, or from a place on the river Delaware no further upriver than the Delair Railroad Bridge between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Delair, New Jersey, to the Capes of the Delaware, in either case, shall be computed as follows:
(a) A charge, to be known as a unit charge, will be made for each pilotage, determined by length overall (in feet) multiplied by the extreme breadth (in feet) of the vessel, divided by one hundred.(a.1) For the purposes of this act, the following definitions shall be applied: "Extreme breadth" shall be the maximum breadth between the outside of the shell platings of the vessel.
"Length overall" shall be the distance between the forward and after extremities of the vessel.
"Measurements" shall be in feet and inches (United States).
Inches shall be converted as follows:
1" =.1 | 4" =.3 | 7" =.6 | 10" =.8 |
2" =.2 | 5" =.4 | 8" =.7 | 11" =.9 |
3" =.3 | 6" =.5 | 9" =.8 | |
(b) The charges per unit shall be as follows: (xi) Effective January 1, 2022............. $14.91 per unit(xii) Effective January 1, 2023............ $15.66 per unit(xiii) Effective January 1, 2024........... $16.44 per unit(xiv) Effective January 1, 2025............ $17.26 per unit(c) There shall be a minimum charge of two hundred units and a maximum unit charge as follows: (xi) Effective January 1, 2022............. 1,550 units(xii) Effective January 1, 2023............ 1,550 units(xiii) Effective January 1, 2024........... 1,550 units(xiv) Effective January 1, 2025............ 1,550 unitsAmended by P.L.
