  • Of the New Jersey Maritime Pi- Lot and Docking Pilot Commission
    156th Annual Report Of The New Jersey Maritime Pi- lot and Docking Pilot Commission Dear Governor and Members of the New Jersey Legislature, In 1789, the First Congress of the United States delegated to the states the authority to regulate pilotage of vessels operating on their respective navigable waters. In 1837, New Jersey enacted legislation establishing the Board of Commissioners of Pilotage of the State of New Jersey. Since its creation the Commission has had the responsibility of licensing and regulating maritime pilots who direct the navigation of ships as they enter and depart the Port of New Jersey and New York. This oversight has contributed to the excellent reputation the ports of New Jersey and New York has and its pilots enjoy throughout the maritime world. New legislation that went into effect on September 1, 2004 enables the Commission to further contribute to the safety and security of the port by requiring the Commission to license docking pilots. These pilots specialize in the docking and undocking of vessels in the port. To reflect the expansion of its jurisdiction the Commission has been renamed “The New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission.” In keeping with the needs of the times, the new legislation has a strong security component. All pilots licensed by the state will go through an on going security vetting. The Commission will issue badges and photo ID cards to all qualified pilots, which they must display when entering port facilities and boarding vessels. The legislation has also modernized and clarified the Commissions’ authority to issue regulations with respect to qualifications and training required for pilot licenses, pilot training (both initial and recurrent) accident investigation and drug and alcohol testing.

  • Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission
    The New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission "The sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats, it’s the boats that have changed." - Ernest Hemingway 2011 Annual Report 163rd Edition Dear Governor and Members of the New Jersey Legislature, With a new year came new challenges for the New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission. Dredg- ing of the main channels has created situations in which aids to navigation have been relocated, channels are nar- rower and the pilots jobs have become more difficult. The Commission made amendments to its existing regula- tions to ensure that state licensed pilots have the proper training and expertise to concur these challenges. Pilots are now required to complete a requisite number of trips on the routes for which they are licensed to ensure they remain conversant with the constant changes of the channels. We are scheduled to begin a new slate of interviews for the Maritime Pilot Apprentice Training Program. This process requires the designated Commissioner to devote a minimum of ten, eight-hour days to the evaluation and interviewing process used to select qualified candidates. Our Occurrence Investigation Committee investigated a total of twenty-eight incidents this year. Major accidents require over 150 hours of a Commissioners time to gather information, review track, review and transcribe VDRs and prepare reports for the Commission to review. The movement of buoys, the dredging of the channels and unaccommodating weather conditions has resulted in three such incidents in 2011. The first female Full Branch Maritime Pilot was sworn in at the Commissions February 15, 2011 meeting.

It has been our privilege to design commercial vessels for the toughest jobs in the marine industry. The rigor- PERFORMANCE IN THE ous conditions that our commercial vessels operate in have been crucial to the development of our hull technology. We have been asked to developed the TOUGHEST most dependable and seaworthy vessels in the world decade after decade. The result, an unmatched CONDITIONS pedigree of commercial vessels for fair and raugh seas. Our long standing relationships with ship builders have allowed us to learn the most efficient and practical way to provide the modern commercial mariner with everything he needs to do the job and get home safely. “What Ray Hunt Design offers to a customer is our experience. The confidence to know that the boat you’ve asked us to design is going to work the first time, right out of the box.” Winn Willard, President A HISTORY OF PERFORMANCE Pilot service has changed over the past 20 years, with deeper draft ships requiring longer runs from shore-side pilot stations. Faster ships and lessened turnaround time require higher boarding speeds, sometimes 10 knots or more. The Hunt deep-V hull is not only a proven rough weather performer, but also performs well when boarding, remaining stable when in con- tact with a ship, with no tendency to become stuck alongside. Over the years, the sophistication of interior accommoda- tions has also changed. Pilots now sit in state-of-the-art Stidd seats, fully adjustable for comfort and support.

    YesWeScan: The FEDERAL CASES Case No. 2,770. THE CITY OF WASHINGTON. [6 Ben. 138.]1 District Court, E. D. New York. June, 1872.2 COLLISION AT SEA—STEAMER AND PILOT BOAT—LIGHTS—BURDEN OF PROOF. 1. A steamer, bound to the westward, discovered the flash lights of a pilot boat to the northward, about abeam. She replied to them, indicating that she wanted a pilot, and changed her course to N. W. by N. The pilot boat changed her course to the southward and westward to meet the steamer, showing her torches as she proceeded. The wind was fresh. When the vessels were four or five lengths apart, the courses of the vessels were crossing, and the starboard side of the steamer was the lee side. She showed a light on that side to guide the pilot to his place, and a pilot left the pilot boat in a yawl, having with him a light, to board the steamer. The steamer was kept in motion, and starboarded her helm, and, before the yawl boat reached her, she ran into the pilot boat and sank her. The pilot boat had no masthead light, but the light, which the pilot carried as he went into the yawl, was seen by those in charge of the steamer: Held, that the steamer was in fault, in not stopping still before she reached the pilot boat, and also in starboard- ing her helm. [Cited in The Columbia, 27 Fed. 708; The La Champagne, 43 Fed. 447.] 2. The burden was on the pilot boat of proving that the absence of the masthead light, which she should have carried, did not contribute to the collision.

A pilot boat, at anchor, is not required to show a white light at her masthead, and a flare up light every fifteen minutes, as required by the 8th article of the rules for preventing collisions (13 Stat. 58), but must show the white light in a globular lantern, provided for by the 7th article. 2. A pilot boat was at anchor off Barnegat, showing a proper light, but having no watch on deck. She was run into by a schooner which was running in, under shortened sail, to anchor, the wind being so violent that the schooner was unable to keep her own side lights burning. Held, that the schooner was in fault in not keeping a vigilant lookout, and that the absence of an anchor watch on the pilot boat, under the circumstances, was not a fault contributing to the collision.
